Religijno-etyczne ujęcie zmian klimatycznych

Abstract

The article shows the importance of religious and ethical approaches to climate change. Since the early 70s we have known that ecological crisis cannot be solved only by technical means. The current climate debate involves not only government leaders and business representatives but also scientists, philosophers, NGO representatives, writers, and… religious leaders. The consequences of the decisions made at the Copenhagen Summit in December 2009 have religious and ethical perspectives and the debate must be enriched with these dimensions. Religion and ethics bring values to the climate debate which have the necessary potential to prompt politicians to make right decisions and ordinary people to change their lifestyles.
