Faith and the environment

Last updated: 08 November 2009

Government ministers from 192 countries gather in Copenhagen next month for a convention on climate change aimed at producing a binding global agreement. The prime minister has described it as a 'profound moment' for a world facing 'momentous choice'.

In anticipation of this major event, BBC Wales is launching the Green Wales season later this month. Looking ahead to that season, this edition of All Things Considered (Sunday, 8th November 8.30 am and repeated Weds, 11th November, 6.30 pm) comes from a Faith and Environment conference held with an invited audience at Broadcasting House in Cardiff.

Roy Jenkins is joined by a panel of guests, each from a different faith community, to explore the extent to which our religious beliefs shape our relationships with the natural world. How do they influence how we act on an issue like global warming? And what - if any - is the distinctive contribution which people of faith have to make to one of the most crucial issues of our generation?
