\u201cThe Future is Upon Us: What Now? Amplifying the Role of Faith and Civil Society Actors in Multilateral Solutions\u201d Faith-based partners initiated the Annual Symposium on the Role of Religion and Faith-based Organizations in International Affairs as an annual event aiming to foster dialogue on the intricate interplay between religion and international affairs. Since 2016, the founding faith-based organizations established a strong partnership with the UN Interagency Task Force (IATF) on Religion and Sustainable Development, creating an annual policy dialogue involving UN entities, member states, faith-based actors, and civil society to address pressing global challenges. This year\u2019s theme will explore how civil society, particularly faith actors, can actively contribute to shaping global solutions through multilateral engagement. It will also assess how faith communities, often working at the grassroots level, can influence policy at the national and global levels to ensure sustainable development, peace, and justice. Principal sessions are envisioned as follows: \u2022 High-Level Welcome \u2022 Opening Session: Faith Actors and Multilateralism: Advocating for Inclusive Global Governance \u2022 Panel: Revitalizing commitments to the Beijing Platform for Action \u2022 Panel: Building Peace in the Midst of Conflict \u2022 Panel: The AI Genie is Out of the Bottle. Can Digital Governance Catch Up? This is hybrid event. If you are willing to join in person, please RSVP to msc@wcc-coe.org The event will take place in New York City at the following address: Church Center to the United Nations 777, United Nations Plaza 8th floor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
