Online Interfaith Course on Climate Change

Event description: 

The Wilmette Institute will offer a 7-week online course on climate change, from March 10 - April 28, 2014

The objectives of the course are

• to help participants become literate in the basic science of climate change and to acquire an understanding of how it impacts people today and in the future,

• to explore ethical questions related to climate change and to address them within the context of the spiritual teachings of the world’s religions, especially of the Baha’i Faith,

• to enable participants to make enlightened decisions for their lives that are consistent with their own spiritual and ethical values.

For those interested in a more thorough study of climate change or who are interested in specific aspects of it, the course offers numerous optional resources.
