Explore the complex relationship between climate change and faith communities in Europe and globally through this thought-provoking 34-minute talk by Wolfgang Blau at The Aspen Institute. Delve into the current state of the climate crisis and examine how political leaders in Europe and the US are addressing or potentially exacerbating the issue. Investigate the impact of Judeo-Christian concepts like "stewardship" and "dominion" on public perceptions of Earth's resources. Learn from indigenous communities' spiritual connections to ancestral lands and consider how faith communities, policymakers, and corporate leaders can inspire a new relationship with the planet. Compare generational attitudes toward climate change and discover new possibilities in journalism, religion, and the broader political economy to contribute to a more sustainable future.
