Platform Muslim World Agenda 2024

  • 31/01/2025


Across a vast geography stretching from the Middle East to the Balkans and from Europe to Asia, the agenda of Muslim-majority and minority societies is rapidly evolving and diversifying. From the economy to the climate crisis, from international law to culture and the arts, numerous issues shape the social, economic, and political dynamics of these societies. As these changes unfold, the need for a platform to understand and discuss their direction is becoming increasingly essential. To address this need, the Thought and Movements in Muslim Societies Project was launched in 2021 under the İLKE Foundation. Between 2021 and 2023, this project produced the Intellectual Contributions from the Muslim World Bulletin, which presented the agenda of Muslim societies in a monthly publication. In 2023, the project took on a new digital form under the title "Platform: The Muslim World Agenda", continuing its mission and vision with renewed vigor. Throughout 2024, Platform has featured various analyses and interviews, adopting a country- and region-focused approach while considering contemporary dynamics and relationships. We are pleased to present Platform: The Muslim World Agenda 2024, a selection of key analyses from the past year, addressing developments and challenges faced by Muslim communities worldwide under various thematic perspectives. With Platform, we aim to provide a unique and comprehensive understanding of the current Muslim agenda in relation to the broader global landscape. We strive to make this initiative a part of the efforts toward a more just world order. We hope this selection will be beneficial to our readers and contribute meaningfully to those interested in the subject.

The Role of Civil Society Organizations in Sustainable Development

  • 30/01/2025


As the impact of global environmental issues continues to grow, ensuring a balance between the environment and life places significant responsibilities on governments, businesses, and even individuals. Civil society organizations (CSOs) that take responsibility in the fight against global environmental issues not only act as key players but also work to connect different stakeholders, expanding their sphere of influence day by day. In parallel with international environmental CSOs striving to build a culture of sustainability, the participation of environmental and other CSOs in Turkey in environmental practices and their collaboration in achieving the goals necessary for sustainable development are emphasized. Additionally, the need for CSOs to address their shortcomings in internationalization and undergo necessary transformations to integrate into global cooperation efforts is highlighted. Recognizing the importance of considering CSOs in terms of green organization and green human resource management, this study offers recommendations to both CSOs and policymakers to enhance the impact of CSOs in sustainable development and expand their frameworks.
