In this virtual session, we spotlighted the pivotal role played by civil society organizations in spearheading truth-telling initiatives from Guinea and The Gambia to Ethiopia and Sudan. Our distinguished panelists shared how locally-led truth-telling initiatives are crucial for addressing past atrocities and laying the groundwork for sustainable peace and reconciliation. A facilitated, roundtable discussion followed, focusing on strategies and best practices employed by civil society actors to navigate the challenges of truth-telling in fragile contexts, from leveraging technology for documentation and dissemination of testimonies to engaging with local communities in participatory dialogue and reconciliation processes.

INTRODUCTION
In recent years, humanity has faced unprecedented global crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts and the widening gap between rich and poor. It is imperative that all of us come together in a united effort to overcome these challenges. The Secretary-General of the UN, Mr. António Guterres, warned that the “greatest cascade of crises” and the “breakdown in trust” are threatening world peace and security. “2024 must be a year for rebuilding trust and inspiring hope”, Secretary-General Guterres continues to advocate for peace, human rights, and global cooperation, emphasizing the importance of conscience in shaping our collective future.
Distinguished leaders will convene to deliberate on innovative strategies for addressing pressing global challenges and urgent issues with reference to the violent and deadly conflicts in different parts of the world. We wish to cordially invite leaders to deliver a 3-minute speech that emphasizes the sharing of experiences, insights, and visions that foster a collaborative spirit that transcends borders. By the end of this summit, we aspire to promote concrete actions that contribute to peace, love, solidarity, and humanity.

“Confluence Of Conscience: Uniting Faith Leaders For Planetary Resurgence” Conference.
Dear friends,
Your gathering in the runup to COP28 comes at a critical moment for humanity and the planet we call home.
Climate breakdown is all around us.
Record-shattering heat and wildfires.
Melting glaciers and rising seas.
Epic floods and storms.
All hitting the vulnerable hardest — those least responsible for this crisis.
People and planet need action.
Action to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Action to phase down planet-killing fossil fuels and ramp up the renewables revolution.
Action to support developing countries and deliver climate justice, with finance for renewables, adaptation and loss and damage.
And action from leaders at COP28 to deliver a strong outcome that makes these ambitions a reality.
As faith leaders, you are part of this essential work.
We need your moral voice and spiritual authority to summon the conscience of leaders, awaken their ambition, and inspire them to do what is needed at COP28 to save our one and only home.
And we’re counting on your support to give this issue the urgency it needs among the wider public.
The path is clear.
The time is now.
And we need all hands on deck.
Thank you for standing in solidarity, and lending your moral voice and great influence to this essential cause.
