Our work is organized around A
Call to Integrate Faith, Ecology and the Global Economy,
a statement created by the Faith-Economy-Ecology-Transformation
Working Group, a coalition of faith-based organizations and
individuals with which the office is affiliated.
Our endorsement of this statement commits us to work for:
Among other things, ecological economics calls for:
-
'Right-sizing' national economies in order to respect
Earth’s need to rest and rejuvenate, and less industrialized
countries' need to develop in sustainable ways.
-
Measuring the success of economies not by mindless growth
in production and consumption, but by increased human
wellbeing and ecological integrity.
-
Creating strong, thriving, interdependent local/regional.
economies and human communities that are rich in social ties
-
Shifting to a sufficiency-based economy in which the gifts
of Earth are shared equitably; everyone has enough and no one
has excess.
