Thematic Focus
Climate Hope for Future Generations
In our international work, we meet many ultimately affected by climate change. We are inspired by their ideas and resilience. We work to give them influence on decisions made about the climate at an international level. And we believe that religion can be a key that mobilizes and motivates more people to participate in the green transition.
Freedom of Religion or Belief
What is freedom of religion or belief?
Freedom of religion or belief is a human right that gives every person the right to have, to change, or to leave his or her religion or belief. We are experts on the right to FORB and offer both courses and online resources free to use for anyone who wishes to learn more.
