Integrity of Creation - An issue for Religious Today:
Climate and Global Change

 

What Is It?
This booklet aims to give you clear information on the issue of Climate Change and Global Warming as well as some tools to address the issue at your local, regional and national levels. Our hope is that this booklet will help you to better understand the complexity of the issues, and the need for action to save our planet.

We include some scriptural and theological resources for use in work groups and communities and some Resources for your ongoing education and formation. This booklet is not the total answer on Climate Change and Global Warming, but sometimes just knowing where to look for information is a step on the way to addressing the issue.

This booklet will attempt to answer the following questions:

What is global warming and climate change?
What are the causes of global warming:
What are the consequences for social justice?
What are the implications?
Why should religious be concerned and involved?
What does our faith tradition say regarding ecology?
What can we do NOW?
Available Languages
This booklet is currently available in Basque, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portugese and Spanish. Other languages planned for the future include Cantonese and Irish.
