The Forum brings together religious leaders, political leaders, academics, and NGO leaders prior to the G20’s Leader’s summit, in order to generate synergy between the religious and the public sector, as they address vital issues facing the global community. It is based on the recognition that religious leaders and communities have an immense role to play in recommending and enacting global policies. This year’s meeting, organized by the G20 Interfaith Forum Association in collaboration with the Fondazione Per Le Scienze Religiose (fscire), featured 50 religious leaders, with 160 speakers, 94 political and diplomatic authorities, 93 scholars, experts and guests hailing from 70 countries. In addition to the in-person on-site conferences, it was also streamed for those unable to attend in person. Prior to the meeting, 11 working groups on the G20 topics prepared the recommendations to be submitted to the G20 leaders who are going to meet in Rome later this year. The format of the meeting featured Plenary Sessions alternating with many overlapping smaller panels on thematic sessions. In the Opening Session, speakers highlighted the various aspects of the topic: “A Time to Heal.” This refers to the present situation, in which the Coronavirus epidemic has further exacerbated the structures of economic and social injustice, which leave vulnerable communities with little protection from the 國際交流 G20跨宗教論壇於 2014年在澳洲發起，以信仰與政策為討論核心，在聯合國可持續發展目標 (SDGs)的廣 泛框架內就全球關注的問題相互交流。今年論壇鎖焦在解決新冠疫苗短缺問題、敦促在2030年之前實現消 除饑餓的可持續發展目標，並關注於根治饑餓的系統性方法。另外大會也發現，很少有女性發言人，且青年 人從未在大會上有發言權，並期待明年秋天於印尼舉行下一屆G20跨宗教論壇時能積極平衡促進賦權。
