Changing the climate of religious internationalism: Evangelical responses to global warming and human suffering

Since the early 2000s, the international affairs community has become significantly more engaged and conversant with religion. This same period has also witnessed religious communities’ increasingly intentional engagement with international affairs. However, in response to 9/11 and the subsequent ‘War on Terror’, most of this mutual interest has been focused upon human suffering associated with potent religious fundamentalisms and the need to secure religious freedom and human rights. While these are important issues, their engagement does not represent a robust commitment by religious internationalists to the breadth of international affairs.
