Religion and Climate Change

This episode features conversations with three experts on religion and climate change who have investigated how different religious communities have responded to the climate crisis. Our discussion begins with Dr. Amanda Baugh. She has been exploring Latinx Catholics’ conservation actions and examining how environmental activism can become less centered on white Americans. Next, Dr. Adrienne Krone discusses the Jewish farming movement and how Jewish farming organizations are combatting climate change. And finally, Dr. Robin Veldman shares her findings about why Christian nationalists and evangelicals have opposed climate science. In total, they share how religious communities and others can make addressing climate change a priority.
