EU-CORD is pleased to announce that we have been accepted as a member of PaRD: International Partnership on Religion and Sustainable Development.

More than 80% of the global population affiliates with a religion. Religious values and beliefs influence the thoughts and actions of billions of people. Religious actors contribute daily and significantly to sustainable development around the world. Their unique global and local networks reach into the most remote corners of the world.

PaRD brings together governmental and intergovernmental entities with diverse civil society organisations (CSOs) and faith-based organisations (FBOs), to engage the social capital and capacities vested in diverse faith communities for sustainable development and humanitarian assistance in the spirit of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

 

We look forward to engaging in the workstreams which are currently on:

All work-streams relate to SDG 17, which is the core of PaRD’s identity. 

The Peace We Build Together: A Global Conversation 

This article launches our Peace Conversation Initiative, bringing together voices from across the EU-CORD network and partner communities. It sets the scene for our upcoming MEP Breakfast in Strasbourg, exploring what positive peace requires and what is at stake when peace is taken for granted.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

Advent reminds us of the greatest love story ever told: God loved us first and gave us Jesus. In a world facing conflict and crisis, we long for a love that heals, restores, and brings peace. Across the year, EU-CORD members have lived out sacrificial love and acted as peacemakers in fragile contexts. This season, we are called to reflect Christ’s light and embody His love wherever we serve.
