The Urgency of Climate Change addresses a pivotal challenge for the
sustainability of our planet. This topic was selected for the
inaugural conference in 2015 of an annual series on the Integrity
of Creation. The essays in this collection were selected in a
peer-reviewed manner and appeal to a general audience. The chapters
move from general to more specific points of view, with a
discussion at the end of each section addressing the global impact
of climate change.The first section sets the Context for the
discussion, explaining that the climate is an indispensable common
good. The part on Science emphasises that empirical reality must
guide any analysis of the climate as a matter of basic knowledge
and comprehension. A crucial implication is whether the climate is
sufficiently robust for the Earth to flourish for millennia ahead,
as discussed in the part on Sustainability. In turn, these sections
raise pivotal questions, regarding Ethics about social obligations
for the planet to flourish and regarding Religion to foster global
stewardship. Finally, this alignment of Ethics and Religion around
the problems related to Science and Sustainability leads to the
final section on Law that considers policy possibilities to
effectively engage Climate Change.
