Overview

This thought-provoking volume unites bioethics experts from seven major world religions—Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism—alongside secular thinkers to explore environmental protection through the lens of the UNESCO Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.

It foregrounds the power of diverse perspectives in addressing one of humanity's most pressing challenges—the ecological crisis.

The contributions provide rich and distinct religious and cultural viewpoints as they confront the anthropological, ethical, and social dimensions of this crisis.

Showcasing dialogue where traditions and philosophies collide, they offer unique insights into global bioethics and human rights that should inspire new ways of thinking and foster meaningful collaboration in the fight for our planet's future.

The book is valuable reading for researchers, scholars, and students in bioethics, environmental ethics, religious studies, and beyond.
