Faiths for Climate Reparations
11 - 25 June 2025, Online
This two-part course explores the links between climate justice and reparations within faith circles, examining how justice and faith intersect with the climate crisis and offering opportunities for meaningful discussion and reflection.
Do you want to know what “climate justice" means?
Are you curious about how a justice-centred approach addresses the climate crisis?
Are you seeking a welcoming space to explore your unique spiritual and/or religious motivations to tackle the climate emergency?
This course is designed to help you explore these questions and feel part of a community of action.
Reparations is now a core element of Britain Yearly Meeting's central work. We will be joined by a representative from the Reparations Working Group to hear an update on Quaker work in this area. The topic of reparations is wide-ranging, so this course seeks to explore the specific links with climate breakdown.
Shanon Shah from Faith for the Climate will share some practical, interfaith examples of climate reparations work. Their diverse network provides unique opportunities to:
In Session 1
Shanon will share an in-depth example that can help us identify the concrete historical and political factors that have given rise to demands for climate reparations. We will also refer to a framework that can help us analyse this and other examples systematically.
Resources to read, watch and reflect on will be shared between sessions.
In Session 2
We will reconvene to address any questions or concerns that may have arisen in the intervening time, then move into a worship-sharing space of deep reflection, and perhaps moving towards discerning our next steps.
The live sessions will take place at 19:00-20:30 (UK time) on Wednesdays 11 June and 25 June.
