What's it all about?

This leadership programme grounds participants in the reality of the climate crisis, explores faith perspectives as an imaginative resource and develops faith-inspired initiatives across religious differences to address the major issue of our time. 

The programme covers:

• The environmental crisis and why faith is important in this conversation

• an appreciation of the depth and wisdom that your own faith or belief system and other faith traditions can contribute to the climate narrative.

• better awareness of the extent of existing faith-based climate action across diverse contexts locally and globally.

• an improved understanding of the complex economic and political global systems that contribute to the climate crisis and begin to explore imaginative alternatives inspired by faith.

• enhanced skills for your next steps on climate.
