Environmental Crisis

 The histories of oil in the U.S. and contemporary climate activism, are intertwined with histories of Christianity and race, fostering narratives about prosperity and progress.

The diverse Christian church, which claims nearly one third of the world as members, has surprising institutional unity regarding climate change.

There is growing consensus among Muslims that they must respond to climate change, partially because many majority Muslim countries are already feeling effects of the crisis.

While climate change concerns most Jews, many have complex views regarding fossil fuel exploration.

Hinduism is a global religion, but most Hindus live in India. Hindu goddesses are often a part of the Indian geographical landscape. This includes the deified river: the Ganges.

Environmental degradation, pollution, and shrinking natural resources are major problems in nearly every predominantly Buddhist nation.
