Climate Justice, Climate Hope
About this book
Addressing climate change in ways that build capacity, equity, and compassion among people may be the great moral-spiritual challenge of our time in history. This slim volume is an invitation to face that challenge with hope and in companionship with people worldwide. In this latest addition to the Building a Moral Economy series, Reverends Malcom and mohaupt equip readers for fruitful, intersectional action toward climate justice, calling for racial justice, equity, and democratic forms of economic life. Readers will cultivate a sense of community with people around the world who are working for climate justice and economies with justice and joy for all living beings.
What can it mean to acknowledge the stark horrors of climate change while building hope and moral-spiritual agency for a brighter future? Bringing decades of leadership experience in interfaith efforts toward environmental and climate justice, Malcom and mohaupt guide readers along pathways toward a clear-eyed but energizing vision of different ways of being. With engaging stories of companions across the globe, they lead readers in a spiritually rooted and hope-filled journey, while also staring unblinkingly into the realities of extractive capitalism and white supremacy that have undergirded climate injustice. Their humor and straight talk entertain readers while providing access to complex thought and difficult topics of environmental racism and climate injustice. Their accessible language and personal approach draw one into a story of climate hope that is emerging worldwide. Readers meet faith-forebearers speaking in Scripture and unsung heroes spanning generations, creeds, and continents who are boldly and bravely organizing and acting for our shared planet and our human community. This book is an invitation to join the song of all creation in the quest to build economies of life for Earth's fragile climate and Earth's creatures.
