The Climate Crisis and
New York Faith Communities
Thursday, October 8th, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm EST
The climate crisis poses an existential threat to New York City, and indeed to our entire world. Global warming, sea-level rise, devastating storms, and the many other effects of carbon pollution are an imminent threat to public health, food and water security, and the sustainable development of human societies. Marginalized communities in New York and elsewhere are uniquely vulnerable, as they face a future of displacement and dislocation. This conference will catalyze much-needed action, by exploring the role of faith-based organizations in confronting the climate crisis.
Join us on Zoom on October 8. The conference will include:
- keynote panel featuring Karenna Gore, Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary; Peggy Shepard, WE ACT for Environmental Justice; and Daniel Zarilli, NYC’s Chief Climate Policy Advisor and Director of OneNYC
- multifaith panel discussion, featuring diverse spiritual perspectives on the climate crisis
- townhall discussion and small group dialogues focused on concrete steps faith leaders can take
- multifaith ritual celebrating New York’s rivers, and the city’s ties to the natural world
