Through powerful interfaith dialogue and collaborative initiatives, it seeks to bridge the moral and ecological imperatives of our time, catalyzing ambitious, compassionate, and effective responses to the climate crisis. The Pavilion underscores the essential role of spiritual and ethical values in driving sustainable and inclusive solutions for people and the planet.
