Inhaltsangabe

This interdisciplinary Handbook examines the relationship between environmental problem solving and religion, addressing how environmental planning often neglects the cultural influences and organizational resources of the world’s religions. It explores global faiths such as Islam and Buddhism, as well as Indigenous and emerging religions.

Expert contributors from a breadth of disciplines including anthropology, ecology, education and theology use the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a unifying framework to examine multiple facets of religious practice and expression. The Handbook explores key topics including conservation, education, leadership, ecojustice, social ethics, religion’s functions in civil society, and faith-based participation in resolving environmental conflicts. They advocate for future action and research in this field, emphasizing the importance of incorporating religion as a crucial component of environmental management and problem solving.

The Handbook on Religion and the Environment is an essential reference for students and academics in the fields of environmental studies, environmental science, religious studies, and political science. It is also an enlightening read for policymakers, religious leaders, ecologists, and professionals working in international development, and urban and environmental planning.
