About Us
The most vulnerable among us – who’ve done nothing to create the climate crisis – and the planet are suffering. Governments, extractive industries, and financial institutions continue to destroy the fabric of life.
Around the globe, local GreenFaith members and Circles are rising together to end the era of extraction and exploitation and to create bold transformation.
THE MISSION
Because the Earth and all people are sacred and at risk, GreenFaith is building a worldwide, multi-faith climate and environmental movement.
Together our members create communities to transform ourselves, our spiritual institutions, and society to protect the planet and create a compassionate, loving and just world.
VISION
We envision a world transformed, in which humanity in all its diversity has developed a shared reverence for life on Earth.
Religious and spiritual communities everywhere generate a moral awakening to the sacredness of Earth and the dignity of all people.
Together, we are building resilient, caring communities and economies that meet everyone’s needs and protect the planet. The era of conquest, extraction, and exploitation has given way to cooperation and community.
The good life is one of connectedness—with each other and all of nature. It is a world of flourishing life that replaces despair with joy, scarcity with shared abundance, and privilege with justly distributed power.
VALUES
We share beliefs and principles that shape our work and guide our relationships:
ROOTED IN SPIRITUALITY
We are centered and inspired by our faiths and revere the sacredness of Earth and all people.
INCLUSIVE BY NATURE
We collaborate with persons richly diverse in culture and backgrounds.
MOVED BY COMPASSION
We act out of love and a deep will to end the suffering of people and the planet.
PASSIONATE FOR JUSTICE
We strive to end all forms of oppression and bring forth an equitable and healed world.
RESPONSIBLE IN PRACTICE
We lead by example and seek to embody integrity, transparency, and accountability.
BOLD FOR GOOD

THEORY OF CHANGE
Around the globe, GreenFaith is building a multi-faith grassroots community through outreach events, contextualized eco-theology education and organizing/campaigning skills training.
These efforts empower our base to campaign against new fossil fuel/extractive projects and related financing and in support of a just transition, green jobs, and loss and damage commitments for climate-vulnerable regions.
