Interfaith renewal and climate justice: Abrahamic perspectives
A Faith for the Climate webinar
Wednesday, 4 February 2026, 1-2pm GMT
A series of delightful coincidences marks the month of February this year. Christians following the Latin rite will begin the penitential season of Lent on Ash Wednesday, 18 February, which roughly coincides with the start of the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims. The month opens with the Jewish festival of Tu Bishvat – the Birthday of the Trees – from sundown on Sunday, 1 February to nightfall on Monday, 2 February.
At Faith for the Climate, we’re commemorating this confluence of dates with our first webinar of 2026. Our Jewish, Christian and Muslim panelists will share insights about how Tu Bishvat, Lent, and Ramadan can nourish our work on climate justice as well as foster healthier intra-faith and interfaith relations.
