Securing Peoples鈥� Wellbeing and Planetary Sustainability

Accelerating planetary and social changes have given birth to a new generation of threats, which span borders and foster insecurity. The Inter-faith Symposium looked at these threats to human and planetary security, and at how religious, theological, ecumenical and interfaith groups have translated the theme of human security into actual advocacy on the ground. It facilitated the faith-based organizations, UN System entities and member states to contribute to the development of 鈥�unity, solidarity, international cooperation and global coordinated action鈥� on the thematic focus on human security.
Much is needed in understanding human security. But much more is required to realize it in the day to day lives of peoples and their communities. The Symposium illustrated how both conceptual and practical convergences around human security are exhibited in actual projects, programs, advocacies and campaigns in the intersections of human security with sustainable development, durable peace, and gender justice. It bridged the disconnect between human development and human security, and demonstrated human security as shared security. Participants presented grassroots perspectives, and explored ways to better address threats through the discourse and practice of faith-based organizations and partners in the UN System, including member-states, civil society actors, and other international and regional organizations committed to human and people鈥檚 security.
