Feedback form is now closed.
Climate Resilience & Religion will explore the ways different places of worship incorporate sustainability into their spaces, a topic especially appropriate for youth who seek the spiritual support of religious communities as they confront the extreme urgency of taking action in our current climate crisis. Panelists will have an interfaith discussion about how places of worship can and do integrate sustainable strategies into their spaces, through the lens of climate justice and community care. Session attendees will be able to pick up ideas and strategies for their own places of worship while examining how religion and climate action influence one another.
