Climate change can be slowed down significantly enough that harmful impacts on humans and the environment are not insurmountable. That requires effective and immediate action. A growing number of people are joining the fight against global warming today and will be in the future.

Religious faith can provide relief from climate anxiety and paralysis. For instance, Christianity spreads hope and encourages people to find ways to love and respect the creation. We should also remember to be merciful to ourselves and not to try and carry the weight of the world upon our shoulders.

Back in the day, natural sciences and technology viewed nature as a big impersonal mechanism. Because their aim was to extract natural resources quickly and efficiently with the help of new technologies, they wanted to strip off the sacredness of nature, because sacred things are untouchable and therefore protected. Studies suggest religions have much in common. For example, all the world religions believe humans are a part of nature, not above it. Humans are responsible for environmental conservation, and maintaining the balance between humans and nature is important.

Environmental issues are seen as moral, religious and spiritual challenges. The role of religions and ethics in addressing climate change has been a hot topic over the last few decades.

The book establishes the research field "religion in climate change" and identifies avenues for future research across disciplines.
