The Secretary General’s report One Humanity: Shared Responsibility recognises the unprecedented challenges presented by current humanitarian crises and calls for ‘accepting and acting upon our individual and shared responsibilities [to] be the central theme of the World Humanitarian Summit’. The report identifies five core responsibilities that will be the focus of discussion and proposed action. The JLIF&LC has prepared evidence briefs linked to each of these responsibilities. Each brief summarises key evidence regarding the role of local faith communities (LFCs) and faith-based organisations (FBOs) with respect to that responsibility, provides links to key research and documentation, and highlights significant issues and strategies for dialogue to secure more effective engagement with religious actors in this area.
