The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, represents more than a roadmap of goals. It articulates a vision of deep transformation, calling for a rethinking of economic models, cultural values, ecological responsibilities, and social structures. While often framed in terms of political action and technological innovation, the Agenda's deeper ambitions demand an ethical and spiritual reorientation. In this light, religious traditions are not peripheral to the global sustainability conversation—they are essential interlocutors. Human Rights, Religions and the United Nations Agenda 2030 investigates how diverse religious and cultural actors are engaging, interpreting, and even expanding the vision of the 2030 Agenda, offering insights, critiques, and innovations that challenge conventional paradigms of development. The contributors demonstrate that sustainable development cannot be achieved without addressing the symbolic, spiritual, and affective dimensions of human experience. In this context, the religious imagination asserts itself as a vital force capable of inspiring new narratives, shaping collective identities, and anchoring development in values of justice, humility, reciprocity, and hope. The volume expresses a coherent and shared conviction: that the religious imagination, when engaged with the realities and urgencies of our time, can emerge as a powerful force for ethical transformation and cultural innovation. The Agenda 2030 is thus not only a technopolitical document but a spiritual and cultural horizon. The contributions gathered here invite the reader to reflect, engage, and act at the intersection of faith, innovation, and global responsibility.
