The Ottawa Environment Forum will share its experience developing a Bahá’í-inspired multifaith initiative that applies spiritual principles to addressing humanity’s global issues. This presentation explores how shared values across faith traditions can awaken hope, nurture moral courage, and inspire collective action for the common good. Drawing on Bahá’í principles such as consultation, the harmony of science and religion, and the oneness of humanity, participants will gain both insight and motivation to initiate transformative, community‑building responses to the urgent challenges confronting our world today.
