One Planet, One Habitation: Conversations around Recasting Humanity’s Relationship with the Natural World

The Bahá’í International Community’s Office of the United Nations has been learning how movement around climate and the environment could serve as a catalyst for global cooperation. In consultation with collaborators, the BIC has been exploring a number of contributions to the discourse, which have more recently been distilled in a statement titled, One Planet, One Habitation: A Bahá’í Perspective on Recasting Humanity’s Relationship with the Natural World. This session will serve as a case study illustrating how efforts to read reality and apply insights from the Writings to emerging conversations is unfolding on the international stage.
