Faith in the Ocean

Faith in the Ocean: A Multi-Faith International Declaration for UNOC3

The Brahma Kumaris have been actively collaborating with other faith-based organizations and spiritual leaders to highlight the inner dimension of ocean care. As part of this effort, they helped initiate and co-create the "Faith in the Ocean" Declaration, a shared commitment among diverse faith traditions to honor the sacred connection between humanity and the ocean. This declaration emphasizes the ocean’s spiritual significance and calls for a transformation in our relationship with it—grounded in reverence, responsibility, and collective care. Together, these communities affirm the power of spiritual practice to generate the values and energy needed to protect and heal the ocean. If you wish to endorse the declaration, you can do so HERE
