Organized by the Islamic Republic of Iran and with the active collaboration of the United Nations (UN) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the second edition of this invitational event entitled, the ‘International Seminar on Environment, Religion, and Culture,’ is currently underway at Pardisan Park in Tehran and will continue until Sunday.
The seminar aims to convey this message to the world that ‘dialogue’ is the foundation of any kind of common understanding among human beings, societies, cultures and religions.
The event has been organized in line with the general environmental policies issued by Leader Ayat. Khamenei, and seeks to promote further peace and freedom in the world.
Speakers and foreign guests from 15 countries which encompass all continents and are of nine religions including Christianity, Catholicism, Sunni Islam, Shia Islam, Jainism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and Buddhism, will participate in five specialized panels to discuss ideas and exchange views.
The seminar is being held due to the successful and positive results of the 1st seminar on Environment, Culture and Religion in 2011 as well as the 2005 Conference on Environment, Peace and Dialogue among Civilizations and Cultures with the support and participation of UNESCO and the United Nations.
The framework of this seminar is a ‘transformation of our world: 2030 agenda for sustainable development’ which has been confirmed as the action plan for people, our planet and prosperity in the recent meeting of the United Nations in New York, September 15.
