Building on the Forum’s ongoing engagement with religion, spirituality and values, this session brings together members of the Faith in Action community to explore how shared moral principles can translate into concrete contributions to global challenges. In a world marked by fragmentation and uncertainty, faith-based actors play an increasingly vital role in advancing equity, sustainability and social cohesion.
This session serves as a space for trusted dialogue on how values-driven leadership can drive meaningful partnerships, community engagement and systems change. The session is part of the World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Development Impact Meetings 2025 in New York City.
On the Agenda
- – Reflect on shared moral values and their role in addressing global and technological challenges
