Reaching out across the faiths to understand climate change

Wrestling with and understanding climate change demands that we cross many boundaries, including those of the world’s faiths and beliefs.

Climate Outreach (formerly COIN) is a charity focused on building cross-societal acceptance of the need to tackle climate change.

Climate Outreach says: “We have over 10 years of experience helping our partners to talk and think about climate change in ways that reflect their individual values, interests and ways of seeing the world.

“We work with a wide range of partners including central, regional and local governments, charities, business, faith organisations and youth groups.”

And now, George Marshall, who is the Director of Projects at Climate Outreach, has been the lead author in a document that explores the narratives of five religious groups and how they relate to climate change.

He and the Research Director at Climate Outreach, an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Psychology at Cardiff University, Dr Adam Corner; a researcher and project coordinator at Climate Outreach, Olga Roberts; and the Executive Director of Climate Outreach, Jamie Clarke, have written the document - “Faith and Climate Change: A guide to talking with the five major faiths.”

Take the opportunity to learn more about this aspect of understanding the diverse views and approached to climate change by joining a webinar discussing the issue at 3:00am Eastern Standard Time on March 10.
