Overview
- Investigates how religious traditions and belief systems are contributing to academic discourse, public policy, and larger public debates over how to create, promote and achieve environmentally and socially sustainable communities
- Explores the way in which sustainability intersects with religious belief systems, and how different religious belief traditions can contribute to the construction of ethical relationships of people, place and the planet’s ecosystems
- Offers a diverse array of fascinating case studies from different geographic locales and from diverse religious traditions
- Provides a platform for scholars, students and the public to re-conceptualize and re-consider how religious belief systems can inform efforts to create moral geographies and sustainable relationships between people, places and environments
