What does interfaith harmony have to do with climate change? For Mumbai-based peacebuilder and journalist Urmi Chanda there’s a natural intersection. She points out that faith is a broader construct than religion. “Those who strongly believe in climate justice, are also people of ‘faith’.” The global climate change crisis has serious repercussions for people of all faiths particularly in Southasia. There’s shared grief for the losses it causes – lives, livelihoods, and stability. So even those who approach the issue from a secular perspective and stay away from the polarising effects of religion, especially when it is misused, can join this conversation. Fired with the need to explore how to direct religious energies “towards important issues like climate justice,” Chanda initiated a virtual panel discussion on the issue ahead of the UN World Interfaith Harmony Week commemorated during the first seven days of February.
