The role of religion and spiritual organisations in tackling the climate emergency is a huge opportunity for collective action, and we are seeing leaders of many religious institutions – including the Pope, and the Imams – speaking to their followers on the critical transformation required to live in balance with nature. But is the message landing? And are we understanding our role in this, as individuals and as members of the human collective, regardless of our faith?
We have a power packed show, that will go wide and deep, where we will tackle the question - why is faith or organized religion an ally in the fight for a live-able climate? We’ll discuss the idea of free will, the role religious institutions can have in tackling the emergency, the Interfaith opportunity, as well as the importance of Church leaders empowering and educating their representatives right down to the local level. We will also touch on war and the weaponization of religion, including how some faiths appear to be actively working against a live-able future and a better world.
Our amazing line up of guests includes the esteemed Dr Bhupender Kaur, who is a medical director and volunteer doctor at UNITED SIKHS since 2010. Dr. Kaur has received widespread media coverage and acclaim, and has received several awards, including the Pride of Sikh Community Award (2003) and Bhushan Puraskar Award (2023), among others.
Tim Wade, co-host of The Know Show, is a professional speaker and now in his final year studying a Masters of Divinity.
Clare Westwood is a powerhouse in the climate movement, and regional director of the Roman Catholic Episcopal Commission for Creation Justice of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and the Co-Founder and Executive Chair of Laudato Si' Asia – a Coalition for Culture of Care, Resilience and Ecological Justice (LSIA-CAREJ).
And finally, Gracious Denis, who is the program officer for Gender Justice and Climate/Environment for the Church of Uganda, where he implements programs promoting gender justice, and addressing climate change and environmental degradation.
Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato. On the show, we cover critical topics across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, in everyday language, and we go big picture on the climate crisis, while also drilling down and focusing on the actions we can all take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren. We owe them that!
