‘Promise the Earth: A Safe Climate in Good Faith’ is co-authored by Professor Andrew Davison, Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford and the Faculty of Theology and Religion, together with Professor Julian Allwood, Professor of Engineering and Environment at University of Cambridge.
Published by Cambridge University Press, the book brings together engineering analysis and moral philosophy to argue that meaningful climate action cannot rely solely on future technologies or political leadership. Instead, the authors suggest that the choices made by individuals and institutions are central to creating a liveable future.
Professor Davison contributes a theological and ethical perspective. The book advocates for the need to learn to live with restraint, which Professor Davison explores through chapters on the seven classical Christian virtues — justice, prudence, temperance, courage, faith, hope and love.
