How can religion help to understand and contend with the challenges
of climate change? Understanding Climate Change through Religious
Lifeworld, edited by David Haberman, presents a unique collection
of essays that detail how the effects of human-related climate
change are actively reshaping religious ideas and practices, even
as religious groups and communities endeavor to bring their
traditions to bear on mounting climate challenges. People of faith
from the low-lying islands of the South Pacific to the glacial
regions of the Himalayas are influencing how their communities
understand earthly problems and develop meaningful responses to
them. This collection focuses on a variety of different aspects of
this critical interaction, including the role of religion in
ongoing debates about climate change, religious sources of
environmental knowledge and how this knowledge informs community
responses to climate change, and the ways that climate change is in
turn driving religious change. Understanding Climate Change through
Religious Lifeworlds offers a transnational view of how religion
reconciles the concepts of the global and the local and influences
the challenges of climate change.
