YouTube description
Theologians David Clough (University of Aberdeen) and Peter Scott (University of Manchester) discuss the ecological visions that inspire their systematic theological work. We chose the title Hope Against Hope for our COP26 vodcasts because we understand how serious the climate crisis is and how religious traditions have often been seen as offering 'false' hope when urgent action is needed to care for the planet. In this exciting series academics and artists, poets and activists, join with faith leaders in discussing how spiritual resources might generate resilience, courage, and real hope in the climate crisis.
