Join the ImPACT Coalition on Faith-Based Solutions as they reflect on faith values and best practices that support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and share how faith leaders are working to create a better future for all.

Background:
This side event “Faith-based Solutions for the Pact for the Future and Beyond” is strategically aligned with the objectives of the Summit of the Future, aiming to shape a more just, inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world.

Faith, religious, and spiritual actors, with their deep-rooted presence in communities and commitment to universal values of peace, justice, compassion, and human dignity, are uniquely positioned to contribute to finding solutions to global challenges.

The event will present case studies and good practices by the UN system and civil society in engaging with faith leaders and actors. They will share insights, experiences, and actionable strategies for achieving sustainable development and peace, and to advocate for the inclusion of faith language in UN processes. We will challenge each other to vision boldly beyond the Pact for the Future by imagining Our Pact for the Future.

The ImPACT Coalition on Faith-based Solutions was launched during the Civil Society Conference at the UN Office in Nairobi on 10 May 2024. This coalition comprises faith, religious and spiritual, including young people, advocating for the inclusion of faith-based language and common values across faiths in UN documents. Emphasizing universal principles such as peace, compassion, and human dignity, the coalition upholds human rights, human dignity, and human security. Core values include solidarity, trust, cooperation, compassion, transparency, humility, justice, and inclusivity.
