The Sustainable Development Goals – enunciated in the UN 2030 Agenda – have urged not only the action of international, European and national institutions in the strategies of adaptation to the environmental crisis, but also the different religious denominations, as social actors engaged in the “custody of creation”,The panel aims to examine the legal instruments for the sustainable planning of religious tourism and the reduction of its environmental impact. Religious denominations themselves contribute to these goals through the elaboration of guidelines for the implementation of green pilgrimage’s forms, and this is the case of the Green Guide for Haji and Umrah of July 2021. Conversely, religious actors have also initiated energy efficiency actions of place of worship with a significant historical and cultural value and have also experienced the creation of energetic religious communities.The transnational nature of faith tourism phenomenon also determines the need to adopt specific interventions at supranational, national and local level, also through the cooperation between civil and denominational authorities. In this sense, the experience of the European Green Pilgrimage Network (EGPN) is remarkable. Based on a synergy with the various “pilgrimage towns”, the Network promotes religious eco-tourism through the enhancement of small villages and the promotion of sustainable mobility.Chair: Maria D’Arienzo (Università di Napoli Federico II) Speakers:Fabio Balsamo (Università di Napoli Federico II), No profit organizations and religious tourism in ecological transition processesCaterina Gagliardi (Università di Napoli Federico II), Green and digital environment in the religious tourism
