The Forum on Religion and Ecology is the largest international multireligious project of its kind. With its conferences, publications, and website it is engaged in exploring religious worldviews, texts, and ethics in order to broaden understanding of the complex nature of current environmental concerns.

The Forum recognizes that religions need to be in dialogue with other disciplines (e.g., science, ethics, economics, education, public policy, gender) in seeking comprehensive solutions to both global and local environmental problems.

Institutional support for this project includes: The Harvard University Center for the Environment, the Harvard-Yenching Institute, the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation, the Germeshausen Foundation, the Kendeda Sustainability Fund, the Thomas Berry Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, and the Center for Respect of Life and Environment of the Humane Society of the United States.

Forum Coordinators: Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, Yale University

Forum Administrative Assistant: Tara C. Maguire Knopick, Yale University

Forum Web Content Manager and 2007-2008 Research Associate: Whitney Bauman, Graduate Theological Union

With thanks to Anne Custer for the original development of the Forum Web site, and Ann Keeler Evans and Donna Rosenberg for their administrative work with the Forum.
