Creation

 We have to reduce the potentially catastrophic threat that hangs over so many people.
Though it is late in the day, the world’s governments are recognizing the ch
allenges that we face on a global level. The UN Member States have announced their determination to place Sustainable Development at the center of global cooperation, building a holistic cooperative strategy on the pillars of economic progress, social inclusion and environmental sustainability.
This would involve the adoption of new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help guide
global cooperation during the course of future generations. All people of good will should
encourage their governments to undertake these commitments to action.
We should also advance our intellectual capacities as well as scientific knowledge, both of the natural and the social sciences, which can be expected to insure the well being of many future generations in a relatively stable environment
Over and above institutional reforms, policy changes and technological innovations for
affordable access to zero carbon energy sources, there is a fundamental need to reorient our
attitude toward nature and, thereby, toward ourselves.
We must engage not only technological solutions but moral understanding as well.
Finding ways to develop a sustainable relationship with our planet requires not only the engagement of scientists, political leaders and civil societies, but ultimately also a mo
ral revolution.
Religious institutions can and should take the lead on bringing about such a new attitude towards Creation.
