Yet the most vulnerable among us and the planet – who together have done nothing to create the climate crisis –are suffering. Governments, extractive industries, and financial institutions are destroying the fabric of life. Local GreenFaith members and Circles are rising together, worldwide, to end the era of extraction and exploitation and to create a world of compassion, love and justice.
Because the Earth and all people are sacred and at risk, GreenFaith is building a worldwide, multi-faith climate and environmental movement.
Together our members create communities to transform ourselves, our spiritual institutions, and society to protect the planet and create a compassionate, loving and just world.
Religious communities have always been a source of moral vision and courage for social change. By building a diverse base of people of faith and spirit, strengthening skills and shared knowledge, and engaging in strategic campaigning and communication, GreenFaith accelerates a global, faith-rooted movement for climate justice—challenging new fossil fuel and extractive projects and their financing, and advancing a just transition, good green jobs, and loss-and-damage commitments for climate-vulnerable communities.
We envision a world transformed, in which humanity in all its diversity has developed a shared reverence for life on Earth.
Religious and spiritual communities everywhere generate a moral awakening to the sacredness of Earth and the dignity of all people.
Together, we are building resilient, caring communities and economies that meet everyone’s needs and protect the planet. The era of conquest, extraction, and exploitation has given way to cooperation and community.
The good life is one of connectedness—with each other and all of nature. It is a world of flourishing life that replaces despair with joy, scarcity with shared abundance, and privilege with justly distributed power.
We share beliefs and principles that shape our work and guide our relationships:
We are centered and inspired by our faiths and revere the sacredness of Earth.
We act out of love and a deep will to end the suffering of people and the planet.
We lead by example and seek to embody integrity, transparency, and accountability.
We collaborate with persons richly diverse in culture and backgrounds.
We strive to end all forms of oppression and bring forth an equitable and healed world.
We show courage in taking risks and creativity in our actions.
