Routledge How the World's Religions Respond to Climate Change

As international efforts to address the climate crisis face challenges, many faiths are stepping forward to act. This volume explores how the world's religions are responding to the environmental crisis and its impacts on human societies, particularly the global poor. While much existing literature focuses on theology and ethics, this work provides a unique perspective by using social science to investigate these developments. This book serves as the first volume to apply social scientific investigations to the relationship between religion and climate change. It examines the ways in which religious groups are becoming active participants in addressing one of the most far-reaching challenges of our time. Readers will gain insight into how different faith traditions are navigating environmental changes and their role in social responses to a changing planet. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sociology, religion, and environmental science.
