Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day


Happy Earth Day to all! 🌍🌱 Today, we celebrate the beauty and wonder of our planet, and the vital importance of protecting its natural resources. Earth Day is an opportunity for us to reflect on our impact on the environment and to take action to preserve the world for future generations. As we face the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, it is more important than ever to work together to protect our common home.


In honour of Earth Day, Religions for Peace, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme, is pleased to present a multi-part article series focused on how Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge can steward us into a more sustainable way of life. For centuries, Indigenous Peoples have held a deep understanding of the natural world, from which they have developed sustainable practices that allow them to live in harmony with the Earth. Through their wisdom, we can learn proven approaches to forest protection and environmental conservation that help build a sustainable future, promote the well-being of all of humanity and that of our common home. We are excited to share these resources and to continue working towards a more just and sustainable world!
