Climate Change and Spirituality

Laurie Michaelis

Chapter 29 in Handbook of Spirituality and Business, 2011, pp 236-244 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There are signs that the global climate may be close to a tipping point for transition to a warmer world. Amid calls for transition to a zero-carbon economy, politicians and much of the public are in denial. Their preferred technological and market solutions will be insufficient; a transformation is needed in our way of life. The spiritual dimension of the challenge has been neglected. It demands that we question the nature of self, our relationships with each other, the Earth and the beyond, our ways of life, and our sources of meaning.
