This panel aims to continue the research previously presented at the EuARe Conference 2023. In the current context, the theme of "sacred ecologies" will be prominently explored through the lens of practical solutions envisioned or implemented by religions, particularly those within the Abrahamic tradition, but not limited to them.
The underlying principle for these actions is the imperative to safeguard and protect the Earth and its biodiversity, for the sake of future generations, recognising it as the common home of all humankind. This intent is emphasised by various precepts and rules, enshrined in the sacred texts and their authoritative sources. The objective of this research is to examine the active engagement of religions in promoting social and cultural change related to environmental sustainability.
The analysis will prioritise actions and initiatives, implemented at both national and local levels, which embody concrete and virtuous practices. Activities and practices encompassing, for instance, the stewardship of religious cultural heritage, sacred spaces, and religious rituals, including pilgrimages and religious routes, as well as the public engagement of religions in the transition to sustainable energy, in accordance with the objectives outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were ratified by the UN General Assembly in 2015.
Submissions are welcome from up to four junior and senior scholars in the fields of Law and Religion and any related disciplines.
