Climate Justice: A Call to Hope and Action 2016

Resources for Study Leaders

Climate Justice: A Call to Hope and Action will deepen your understanding and awareness of climate change and its impact on God's creation. The study highlights justice, peace, and integrity of creation as important dimensions of partnering in God's mission today. It offers participants biblical, theological, and ethical insights as the basis of their advocacy on climate justice in churches and in the public sphere.

Deepen Understanding
Learn not only about climate change, but also about the justice concerns raised by the drivers of climate change and the communities affected by it. Participants in this study will also learn how their own actions contribute to climate change and what they can do to positively affect the environment. Equipped with this information, they will be able to share their knowledge, be intentional about living a sustainable lifestyle, and learn how to support those who suffer because of climate change.

Diverse Perspectives
Each chapter gives a different perspective of climate justice through the eyes of eight diverse authors. Participants will study:

  • the ways God has asked us to care for the earth;
  • the perspectives of those who are currently affected by the realities of climate change;
  • the meaning of climate justice and the perspective and priorities it requires; and
  • the rich resources available in the life of the Church and beyond to address these concerns.
