G20 Interfaith Forum

The G20 Interfaith Forum is a platform for raising the level and effectiveness of religious inputs and providing a sharp focus on values on global policy issues.

Each year the IF20 draws on a global network of interreligious groups to address all aspects of the G20 agenda. Launched in 2014, during Australia’s Presidency of the G20, the Forum has developed into a sustained alliance of diverse religious leaders, practitioners from humanitarian, peacebuilding, and development organizations; and scholars. 

In 2026, the G20 Interfaith Forum will convene under the theme “Interfaith Engagement for Policy Impact”, aligned with the United States’ G20 Presidency. Two major gatherings are planned: a Policy Forum at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. (26 May 2026), and the Annual Forum in Salt Lake City (15–17 October 2026).

The meetings will focus on economic growth, energy security, AI and the human future, and interfaith engagement around the UN Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to translate religious and ethical perspectives into concrete policy contributions linked to the 2026 G20 process.
