at the Global Baku Summit of World Religious Leaders,

reports .
Speaking at the summit, Mammadov emphasized the crucial role the
event will play in overcoming future global threats, particularly
tackling climate change.
“The message of the Global Baku Summit of Religious Leaders will
carry enormous significance for overcoming future challenges. Part
of this message may include a call to international relations
actors. Governments and international organizations need to work
more intensively to reduce the consequences of global warming.
The summit of religious leaders will serve as a powerful
reminder to believers of the critical importance of protecting
God's creations.
It will also urge each of us to actively participate in the
fight against global climate change to safeguard our futures and
those of our children, regardless of where we live or what our
religious beliefs are.
Religious leaders will reach out to people of all faiths,
ethnicities, and social backgrounds. We are truly on the edge of a
serious crisis, and sharing responsibility may be the most
effective way to tackle global challenges.
In this reality, states have their claims in the system of
international relations, and individuals have their life goals.
However, these claims and goals should not be pursued at the cost
of actions that result in injustice toward the planet, nature, and
the environment.
If we adjust our ambitions and objectives with fairness and
justice, we can secure the future of humanity. The summit of
religious leaders offers the ideal platform for finding this
'golden mean,' as justice is a universal value that lies at the
heart of all religious philosophies," he added.
To note, a Global Summit of Religious Leaders is being held as
part of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) by the Ministry of
Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Committee on Affairs with
Religious Associations, the Muslim Council of Elders, the Caucasus
Muslims Office (CMO), and the United Nations Environment Program in
Baku.
This global forum is attended by approximately 30 leaders from
both secular and traditional religions, heads of prominent
religious centers (including patriarchs, officials from the
Vatican, and Al-Azhar), internationally recognized religious and
public figures from a variety of faiths and regions,
representatives from government, academia, and religious
institutions from 55 countries and 30 international organizations,
and media representatives.
