Faith for Action to Tackle Galloping Risks Due to Climate Change

Can faith based value systems play a meaningful role in addressing climate change? The focus is on how deeply rooted values drawn not only from religion but also from shared human ethics can influence behavior change in a way that is practical verifiable, and impactful. Prof Dr. Adil Najam, Dean Emeritus and Professor, Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University emphasizes that climate change is no longer a future threat the science is clear, and its impacts are already being felt. Current efforts are still insufficient and that faith and values can help strengthen climate compliance not only in adaptation but also in mitigation. Climate change is a real evidence-based issue not an ideology. While faith has sometimes been misused in history it can also be a powerful force for positive action when grounded in ethics and responsibility. Dr. Adil Najam also reflects on the role of faith in shaping personal and collective behavior especially in societies where belief systems strongly influence daily choices. While major global polluters are not defined by religion values rooted in faith can still encourage individuals and communities to make more responsible environmental decisions.
