The interfaith world has been very acive in ecojustice work and the fight against climate change. Organizations such as GreenFaith, Interfaith Power and Light, and the Interreligious Eco-Justice Network (see “Engaged Projects” below for more) lead these grassroots efforts to educate, inform, and inspire change in the world through the coming together of religious traditions for the sake of the planet and us all.
