Beyond Belief : Opportunities for Faith-Engaged Approaches to Climate-Change Adaptation in the Pacific Islands

This interdisciplinary book explores the science and spirituality nexus in the Pacific Islands Region and as such makes a critical contribution to sustainable climate change adaptation in Oceania. In addition to presenting case studies, literary analyses, field projects, and empirical research, the book describes faith-engaged approaches through the prism of:

Context: past, present, and future prospects

Theory: concepts, narratives, and theoretical frameworks

Practice: empirical research and praxis-informed case examples

Doctrine: scriptural contributions and perspectives

Engagement: enlisting religious stakeholders and constituencies

Comprising peer-reviewed works by scholars, professionals, and practitioners from across Oceania, the book closes a critical gap in the literature and represents a groundbreaking contribution to holistic climate change adaptation in the Pacific Islands Region that is scientifically sound, spiritually attuned, locally meaningful, and contextually compelling.
