Australian Religious Response to Climate Change
We are the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change, a grassroots, multi-faith network mobilising people of faith to take action on the most pressing issue of our time. Buddhists, Quakers, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus: we stand together not because we share the same tradition, but because we share a common moral commitment to the earth and to those most vulnerable to what is happening to it.
Climate change, we believe, is not only a scientific, environmental, economic and political issue. It is a profoundly moral and spiritual one. The Earth’s ecosystems are intrinsically precious. Human wellbeing depends on ecological flourishing. And it is the most vulnerable, the ones who have contributed least to the crisis, who are already bearing the heaviest weight.
Spiritually Grounded, Politically Uncompromising
What makes our voice different is precisely that it comes from faith. We are not driven by ideology. We are driven by values: compassion, fairness, simple living, responsible care for the earth. That gives us a particular kind of freedom. Independent of government grants and large institutions, we can speak truth to power without compromise.
We organise multi-faith prayer vigils, advocacy campaigns, and community actions. We support faith communities to engage with ethical investment. We join global coalitions like Faiths 4 Climate Justice. And we do all of this while acknowledging the wisdom of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have been custodians of this land for tens of thousands of years, long before any of our traditions arrived here.
