This note on the 2019 G20 Interfaith Forum highlights what happened, with some analysis of key points. This ambitious effort aimed to bring together a “network of networks”, linking religious actors working on global issues within the broad framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The core recommendations have been transmitted to Japan Prime Minister Abe, and the goal is to reach other G20 leaders before they meet in Osaka at the end of June.
A fuller set of policy recommendations is being prepared, along with a full report on the event. Eight policy briefs, essential to robust and plausible recommendations, are available on the G20 Interfaith Forum website
