JCM Conference 2022
Stewards of the Earth - Religious Responses to Climate Change and its Consequences
21 - 27 February 2022 Haus Wasserburg, Vallendar
We live in a time when the destructive effects on nature are becoming ever more severe: polluted water, melting glaciers, oceans polluted with plastics, coral reefs bleached by over-acidic seas. Agricultural land is degrading gradually due to non-sustainable use, unhealthy eating habits, exploitative mining for resources, deforestation, desertification and erosion. Worldwide carbon emissions continue to increase, leading to an accumulation of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere and effects on the climate. Numerous scientists and researchers warn that we could be the last generation able to reverse the trend. If we miss our opportunity, we will reach a point of no return. As people of faith, we believe that humans have been given the task to be stewards of the earth.
The 49th Jewish-Christian-Muslim conference will address the question how individuals of the three faiths are inspired by their religious traditions t advocate for climate justice and the protection of creation and thus allow for the sustainable use of the riches and resources of the Earth.
Our target group includes students and their teachers, as well as all those interested in, and actively committed to, dialogue amongst the three religions.
Conference languages are German and English. All content will be translated.
