Faith Voices for Ecocide Law is a remarkable collection of texts, drawing on the vast wisdom, teachings, and practices of the world's religions and indigenous spiritual traditions. Written at a time of ecological crisis, it focuses on the relationship between humans and nature in general, and on the need for a new international crime of ecocide. The book was written in support of the Faith for Ecocide Law initiative, an interreligious coalition gathering religious and spiritual leaders and voices to express support for an international crime of ecocide. The book was launched on 9th November 2022 at COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh. View the resource here.
