Scope:

This dossier of Horizonte will address issues related to religion and climate change through a broad range of disciplines and approaches. Innovative contributions are particularly welcome, especially those engaging with doctrinal, ecclesiological, or institutional dimensions, as well as symbolic, liturgical, and ritual practices, interfaith engagement, the arts, community development, and environmental activism in response to climate change. Other perspectives beyond these areas will also be considered, including textual analyses of sacred scriptures addressing this issue. Contributions that explore the topic from the perspective of spiritualities and wisdom traditions of Indigenous peoples are especially encouraged.

The dossier welcomes submissions that examine the interaction between religion, theology, spirituality, and worldviews in relation to climate change. We invite articles that critically reflect on how humanity has reached this unprecedented existential crisis and that seek to imagine alternative futures.

Given that anthropogenic climate change is deeply connected to beliefs and values, attitudes and behaviors, religion occupies a particular position in identifying causes, effects, and responses in terms of mitigation and adaptation. Faith communities play a fundamental role in community-based responses, both conceptually and pragmatically, in processes of meaning-making and in concrete action.
