  • Lessons Learned
  • ROLE OF FAITH COMMUNITIES -- Faith communities
    have an essential role to play in inspiring
    environmental action, including action on climate
    change.
  • POWER OF RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS -- When a clear
    connection is made between religious teachings
    and responsible environmental action it can
    result in positive behaviour change.

  • Lessons Learned
  • COLLABORATION -- Climate Change is an issue of
    such magnitude and urgency that it requires and
    inspires people to work together who may not have
    done so before
  • COMMUNITY BUILDING -- Working together on
    environmental initiatives, faith communities (and
    others) can find common ground, build trust and
    extend their sense of connection to the wider
    community.

  • Challenges ahead
  • SPREADING THE WORD building public awareness
    generating political will
  • EXPANDING TOOLS AND CAPACITIES learning to
    better educate for sustainability
  • MAKING THE LINK -- Learning more effectively to
    link environmental choices to faith teachings
  • BUILDING COALITIONS -- Fostering interfaith and
    other types of coalitions on the local, national
    and international levels
  • MEASURING PROGRESS - Strengthening our ability to
    measure and gauge progress in applying spiritual
    principles to environmental challenges.
