We find ourselves unable to name or narrate interreligious conflict, let alone discuss it. Soon, we may find ourselves engulfed by a conflict we can’t even explain. newstatesman.com/ideas/2026/…

Despite at least 80% of the world remaining religious and faith-based communities controlling significant global resources, the West has largely disregarded religion within the #ClimateChange conversation. Revd Prof James Walters of @LSEfaithcentre explains.

Could faith communities advocate for climate policies? | LSE

An honour to meet @brik_t rector of @kse_ua and learn about the remarkable research and teaching they have sustained to support their nation in this time of war. Proud of @LSEnews connections with our friends in Ukraine and hope we can do more to support them in these dark days.
