Abstract

The article examines the influence of the Christian church on the international and national public regarding the settlement of global climate challenges and the church's climate communications from the Middle Ages to the present. Utilizing comparative and literary analysis of both historical texts and contemporary scientific papers, the study explores how these religious institutions have engaged with and influenced public discourse on global climate challenges. The findings underscore the significant role that religious institutions can play in shaping responses to climate change, leveraging their moral and ethical frameworks to foster community involvement and support for sustainable practices. The authors conclude that both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches recognize the scientific consensus regarding the anthropogenic cause of global climate change and actively participate in overcoming climate challenges.
