Rabbi David Rosen, AJC International Director of Interreligious Affairs; Father Francesco Patton, Custos of the Holy Land; and Kadi Iyad Zahalha, judge of the Muslim Sharia Courts in Israel reached a consensus on the religious basis for environmental sustainability and addressing climate change. At the event, a new letter signed by 36 Israeli Orthodox rabbis was released, calling for action on climate change.

The event was organized by The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development (www.interfaithsustain.com), which works to catalyze a transition to a sustainable, thriving, and spiritually-aware society through the leadership of faith communities.

The event was held at the Jerusalem Press Club.
