CRCC has been collecting the stories of 100 \u201cspiritual exemplars,\u201d people inspired by their faith to work on some of the world\u2019s most intractable issues since 2019. What we did not expect at the start of the project was how central the issue of climate change would be for spiritually engaged humanitarians and how varied and nuanced their work would be on the issue.<\/p>\n

As the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) takes place in Glasgow, Scotland, we want to highlight some of the ways that exemplary people of various faiths are working for climate justice\u2014prioritizing those who are bearing the brunt of the effects of a warming global climate.<\/p>\n

There is no time to wait. Unfortunately, there are too many people suffering from the environmental crisis. Urgent and courageous action is needed along with the responsible preparation of a future in which humanity will be capable of taking care of itself and nature. #COP26<\/a><\/p>\n
