The Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology is an international multi-religious project contributing to a new academic field and an engaged moral force of religious environmentalism. With its conferences, publications, monthly newsletter, and website, it explores religious worldviews, texts, and ethics in order to contribute to environmental solutions along with science, policy, law, economics, and appropriate technology. The Forum was founded at the United Nations in 1998 by Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim and has been based at Yale University since 2006.
The Forum launched an updated website this spring, which contains a wealth of resources, including overview essays, annotated bibliographies, statements, engaged projects, and sacred texts of the world’s religions. It also has sections on the global climate emergency and on Laudato Si’, as well as a rich collection of multimedia resources.
We are pleased to share news, events, and new publications that are related to the intersection of religion and the environment on our website and in our monthly Forum newsletter. Feel free to contact us with relevant details. You can sign up for the monthly email newsletter here.
