Faith and the climate crisis: ten years since Laudato Si

Faith and the climate crisis. Giles Fraser talks to a panel of experts about the impact of the papal encyclical 'Laudato Si' on climate action and where we are ten years on.

Giles Fraser talks to a panel of experts about the impact of 'Laudato Si', a decade after it was released by Pope Francis. They examine how this landmark document inspired global political co-operation and provided 'moral ballast' in the call for climate action. He hears from Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David of the Philippines whose country is one of those most vulnerable to climate change. He discusses the role of faith communities and leaders in motivating people to work together to protect our common home in the face of increasing disengagement with the topic.

Panel: Carmody Grey, Theologian and Professor of Integral Ecology at Radboud University in the Netherlands, Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, co-founder of Eco-Judaism and Dr Shanon Shah, Muslim Director of Faith for the Climate
