Abstract
Resources and Theological Perspectives on Eco-Theology, Climate Justice and Food Security – Priorities on ETCF in theological education and Christian leadership development The WCC assembly in Busan in November 2013 identified eco-theology and climate justice as two of the key priorities for the next working period (2014 – 2021). Issues like eco-theology and climate justice should remain key components in the global pilgrimage of justice and peace in the ongoing post-Busan working period. Since climate change and ecological destruction are getting more and more menacing for humanity, climate issues provide a global challenge which should be reflected also in theological education and formation worldwide. Specialized ministries and their partners in the global South have shown the links between climate change and food security. Although much research and project related work has been done already on these topics in some regions in World Christianity, only in a few institutions of theological education and Christian leadership development issues of eco-theology, climate justice and food security form part of the regular curriculum of instruction and training or inform theological formation processes in an integrated perspective, especially in and in exchange with the global South. A great potential therefore lies in discovering existing resources for the transfer of knowledge and wisdom from all contexts/regions.
