His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Alissa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, held a dialogue session with the third cohort of youth participants in the "Youth Interfaith Leaders Fellowship on Climate Change," the first global fellowship of its kind focused on climate action. It brings together young leaders from various religious backgrounds, with Duke University overseeing the educational and training program and awarding accredited certificates upon fulfillment of the program's standards.
This initiative is part of a partnership between the "Islamic Cultural Foundation in Geneva" and the "Divinity School at Duke University," and is supported by a select group of religious leaders to mobilize efforts and foster collaboration among all religious communities on environmental protection issues.
During the visit, H.E. witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding aimed at expanding the partnership between the Islamic Cultural Foundation in Geneva and the Divinity School at Duke University. The goal is to enhance areas of cooperation and joint work between the two esteemed institutions in fields of mutual interest, and to activate the role of religious and academic leadership in addressing pressing issues within their communities — including promoting collaboration in the fields of environmental protection and climate change. It is worth noting that the Islamic Cultural Foundation in Geneva is an independent Swiss institution with a broad European presence and a diverse membership from various countries, granting it significant global Islamic influence. The Foundation is not affiliated with any particular entity and enjoys strong international relations and a distinguished reputation. The late King Khalid—may he rest in peace—had previously inaugurated its Islamic center in an official ceremony. Currently, the Foundation is chaired by H.E. Sheikh Dr. #MohammedAlissa, who was directly appointed by the members of the board.
Based on the chair's recommendation, the board has appointed Mr. Abdulwahab bin Mohammed Al-Shehri as its part-time secretary.
