The
Forum on Religion and Ecology is the largest international
multireligious project of its kind. With its conferences,
publications, and website it is engaged in exploring
religious worldviews, texts, and ethics in order to broaden
understanding of the complex nature of current environmental
concerns.
The
Forum recognizes that religions need to be in dialogue
with other disciplines (e.g., science, ethics, economics,
education, public policy, gender) in seeking comprehensive
solutions to both global and local environmental problems.

The Forum on Religion and Ecology Marks 10th Anniversary with NYC Event
As it marks its tenth anniversary on November 18, 2008 in New York City, Forum organizers say the deep values, historical perspectives, and aesthetic sensibilities
of spirituality and religious traditions are the key to broaden discourse
and create a new alignment of nature and humans,
interlinking self-interest with common interest
to provide the traction to motivate humanity.
