Media Advisory: Global Pledge for Action by Religious Actors and Faith-Based Organizations to Address the COVID-19 Pandemic in Collaboration with the United Nations

The Global Pledge for Action by Religious Actors and Faith-Based Organizations to Address the COVID-19 Pandemic in collaboration with the United Nations is the result of a consultation that UNAOC, OSAPG, and OHCHR co-organized with a group of religious leaders and actors and faith-based organizations in 2020 to explore innovative ways to partner in response to COVID-19.

A Side Event in the Margins of the 2021 High-Level Political Forum

Join Us Live Here

WHAT: In the margins of the 2021 High-Level Political Forum, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), the UN Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect (OSAPG), and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) are organizing a side event on the implementation of the “Global Pledge for Action by Religious Actors and Faith-Based Organizations to Address the COVID-19 Pandemic in Collaboration with the United Nations” with the co-sponsorship of the Permanent Missions of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Croatia to the UN, and Religions for Peace.

WHEN: Wednesday, 7 July, 2021 | 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EDT.

WHERE: Virtual | Follow @UNAOC for live coverage on Twitter | Watch Live

WHY: The Global Pledge for Action by Religious Actors and Faith-Based Organizations to Address the COVID-19 Pandemic in collaboration with the United Nations is the result of a consultation that UNAOC, OSAPG, and OHCHR co-organized with a group of religious leaders and actors and faith-based organizations in 2020 to explore innovative ways to partner in response to COVID-19. The Pledge includes a declaration by religious leaders and actors with assurances and commitments in response to COVID-19 and a mapping of ongoing activities and possible areas of collaboration with the UN. One year after the launch of the Global Pledge for Action, and after six webinars co-organized by the three UN offices on its implementation, this side event aims to take stock of and advocate for further implementation of the Global Pledge for Action.
