Faith Leaders Convene on Climate
In January, Duke brought faith leaders together to learn and consult their traditions for guidance and hope in responding to the climate crisis. Duke's Abdullah Antepli, who holds dual appointments in the Duke Divinity School and Sanford School of Public Policy, led the "Faith for Our Planet" conference. The convergence highlighted the intersection of both climate education and spiritual formation. Attendees included young faith leaders from 20 countries, representing Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and Jewish faith traditions. Participants included elected representatives, faith leaders, eco-activists, climate entrepreneurs, sustainability experts, researchers, and policy advocates.
