[Edited extract from public address]

In Memoriam: Fr. Thomas Baima

 The Parliament of the World's Religions extends our heartfelt condolences on the passing of the Very Rev. Thomas A. Baima.
Fr. Tom Baima was a celebrated author and trustee emeritus of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, leading the Catholic host committee in the organization of the 1993 Parliament Convening and instrumental in the creation of the Parliament's signature document, Towards a Global Ethic.

The Turning Point: An Earth Day Update

A Special Update from Imam Saffet Catovic and David Hales, Co-Chairs of the Climate Action Task Force at the Parliament of the World’s Religions.

Because of the experience of real people in real places, new scientific studies, and the collection of hard data throughout 2021, we now know more than we have ever known before about the state of Earth’s climate, and we know it with even greater certainty.

Human experience and scientific evidence reinforce the Parliament of the World’s Religions’ conviction that the reality and basic causes of climate change are settled science. We are convinced that the evidence of the danger created by human-caused climate change is irrefutable and that the danger is growing rapidly.

We are also convinced that 2022 brings new opportunities for action to meet the challenge.

The world is at a Turning Point. We — as individuals, communities, and societies — will either change our behavior or we will change the world in ways that are irreversible.
