A new mission for religion and spiritualities?
Laudato Si by the Pope, declaration by the Dalaï Lama, Why do I care Summit and so many religious energies are converging for COP21 in Paris that we have to ask some fundamental questions about the way religion and spiritualities can help transmit the climate challenge to a broader audience.

Might not the climate crisis be partially caused by a lack of spirituality in humanity? What is it in religions that could help us form a deep link with nature and the planet and help us recognize our roles as stewards of our natural capital and move us away from exploitation and destruction? What role does worship play in climate change? What does spirituality tell us of our duty to nature?
