For the first time in the history of the Conferences of the Parties, the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), hosted by the United Arab Emirates, featured a "Faith Pavilion." Organized by the Muslim Council of Elders in collaboration with the COP28 Presidency, the UAE Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence, and the United Nations Environment Programme, the pavilion aimed to provide a global platform for exchanging perspectives and finding solutions to the climate crisis. The Faith Pavilion featured over 360 speakers from 54 countries and 9 religious denominations, along with more than 70 organizations and institutions worldwide, across 65 sessions. The pavilion's events received significant global attention, with approximately 4,000 articles published in 30 languages across 70 countries, accounting for 7% of the total media coverage of COP28.
