In this groundbreaking book, renowned climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe and religious scholar Dr. Michael Dowd explore the profound impact of climate change on religious beliefs and practices. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world examples, they shed light on the ways in which environmental shifts have shaped the course of human spirituality.

The Climate-Faith Connection

For centuries, religion has played a central role in shaping human understanding of the world and our place within it. But what happens when the world around us changes dramatically? As climate change transforms our planet, it is also challenging our deeply held beliefs and values.

In "How Changes in Climate Drive Religious Upheaval," Hayhoe and Dowd argue that climate change is not just an environmental issue—it is also a spiritual one. They show how rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and other climate impacts are forcing us to confront our mortality, our relationship with the natural world, and the meaning of life.

A Call to Action

Hayhoe and Dowd believe that climate change is a wake-up call for people of faith. They argue that we must use our religious traditions to inspire action on climate change. They provide concrete examples of how religious communities are already leading the way in addressing this global crisis.

From the Pope to the Dalai Lama, religious leaders around the world are calling on people of faith to take action on climate change. In "How Changes in Climate Drive Religious Upheaval," Hayhoe and Dowd provide the intellectual and spiritual tools we need to answer this call.
