Parliament of the World’s Religions

The Parliament of the World’s Religions is a left-leaning non-profit organization that aims to create harmony and community among the world’s religions and spiritual communities. The Parliament creates a space that allows for religions and spiritual communities to come together to solve world issues. One of the organization’s projects is The Climate Commitments Project that they use to raise awareness about climate change. The organization encourages countries to change systems in energy production, food growth, and public and private transportation to reduce carbon emissions to zero.1
