On September 6, the Multi-Faith Association of South Australia led an interfaith dialogue and media event. The event was a culmination of a faith-led Community Climate Petition.
The petition was signed by over 25,000 Australians from 92 Federal electorates and driven by people of diverse faiths - including Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Brahma Kumaris.
It calls for urgent reductions to Australia's greenhouse gas emissions and for more support for vulnerable communities in the region.
