FAITH AND SPIRITUALITY

Faith communities communicate our moral responsibility of environmental stewardship and how we care for our most vulnerable neighbors.


Climate touches everything. These resources will help you understand how climate touches your profession and your role for climate action. 

 "It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the world in which we all live."  -Dalai Lama
