The struggle against the climate crisis and for a livable future on earth raises profound questions of justice that call for theological engagement. Anchored in concrete situations of climate vulnerability and responsibility, this volume investigates the theological epistemologies, practices and imaginaries that have profoundly shaped climate politics in the past and explores possible theological reformulations that can open up sustainable and just futures. With these critical and constructive theological reflections inspired by Liberation Theology, it seeks to contribute to practices of climate justice by inspiring the development of socially and economically just ways of living in global, interspecial community.
Jan Niklas Collet is research assistant for systematic theology at the Institute for Catholic Theology, University of Cologne, Germany. His research focuses on political theology and liberation theology in dialogue with critical development research, theological understandings of and contestation to the global rising of far-right policies, and theological approaches to climate justice.
Judith Gruber is professor of systematic theology at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, and the director of KU Leuven’s Centre for Liberation Theologies.
