520    "This book interrogates the contributions that religious 
       traditions have made to climate change discussions within 
       Africa, whether positive or negative. Drawing on a range 
       of African contexts and religious traditions, the book 
       provides concrete suggestions on how individuals and 
       communities of faith must act in order to address the 
       challenge of climate change. Despite the fact that Africa 
       has contributed relatively little to historic carbon 
       emissions, the continent will be affected 
       disproportionally by the increasing impact of 
       anthropogenic climate change. Contributors to this book 
       provide a range of rich case studies to investigate how 
       religious traditions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Islam,
       and indigenous faiths influence the worldviews and actions
       of their adherents, and how the moral authority and 
       leadership provided by religion can be used to respond to 
       and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. 
       Topics covered include risk reduction and resilience, 
       youth movements, indigenous knowledge systems, 
       environmental degradation, and climate change financing. 
       This book will be of interested to scholars in diverse 
       fields, including religious studies, sociology, political 
       science, climate change and environmental humanities"--
