After several months of research and development, ECI gladly presents the Earth Charter Guide on Religion and Climate Change that is available for download on the EC website. The Guide presents a three-step methodology for assessing the ethical challenges of climate change aimed at gaining a macro-perspective on our climate crisis, assessing the root causes of climate change and framing inclusive solutions. The Guide could be especially useful in religious seminaries, theology and ethics classes, congregational study groups and interfaith dialogues on the deeper dimensions of climate change and global warming.
