Faith + Climate: From Creation Care to Action

What if we could engage 85% of the world’s population in climate action? It’s estimated that about that number identify with a religion. Join us to learn how to talk with, support, and activate people of faith in creation care and climate action in their place of worship, in a university and other places of work, and with legislative initiatives.
HKS alumn, Brooke Suter, shares how she is building on Pope Frances’ Laudato Si as a key motivator for the creation of an Institute for Sustainability and Social Justice at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT
Reverend Carol Devine, Director of Blessed Tomorrowshares key areas of focus needed, and how they are building engagement in red, purple, and blue states through connection and events, such as the April 16 National Faith + Climate Forum and resources, including an Ambassadors Training
