During COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, a weekend event will be held at Mount Sinai! 🌱

It will be a moment of inspiration for religious communities and humankind in general - an interreligious Climate Repentance Ceremony, something that has never happened before. On Sunday, November 13th, religious leaders will ‘return’ to Mount Sinai, a mountain associated with revelation from God in the collective consciousness of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and other communities worldwide.
