Climate Discussions in Jerusalem

Today I am in Jerusalem to meet with an international course at the Swedish Theological Institute.
Together with people from Asia Africa South America and Europe we have talked about the threat of climate change and the response or the needed response from faith communities, theologians and faith communities to this.
It is nice to be in the surroundings of the old town with all of the layers of religious life that is enshrined here. The communalities of the faith families as well as the conflicts.
If we could just see this as a richness to meet the threat of climate change and not a dividing thing the climate combat could serve as a tool for deeper understanding and that is needed both for peace and for peace with the earth
