Looking back to move forward: what ancient wisdom can teach us about climate action (Part 1)

In a time of global uncertainty, it can feel harder than ever to unite communities around urgent issues like climate change. For scholars Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim of Yale University, the answers may lie in the past. Drawing on spiritual and ethical traditions from across cultures, they believe that humanity's relationship with nature must be guided by values as much as science. From the thoughts of Confucius to Indigenous ecological wisdom, they explore how religious worldviews can inspire more compassionate and sustainable action today. This is the second episode of Climate Watch’s collaboration with Beyond Climate Dialogue at Peking University. More on their project: https://www.journeyoftheuniverse.org/
