KAIROS' work in sustainability focuses
on four interconnected areas:
Climate Justice
Resource Extraction
Corporate Accountability
Global Finance
When KAIROS speaks of "sustainability," it speaks of just and equitable economic, social, and environmental systems. People enjoy dignified and meaningful livelihoods. Ecosystems are recognized as complex and essential parts of our existence and are valued for their inherent and life-giving worth.
Living sustainably means understanding that the earth is an integral part of God's Creation, and committing to live within Earth's material limits. Sustainable communities require a just and moral economy where people are empowered to participate in decisions affecting their lives, where public and private institutions are held accountable for the social and environmental consequences of their activities, and where the Earth is honoured rather than exploited or degraded.
Doing justice and living sustainably means understanding that the earth is an integral part of God's wondrous Creation and ensures that we live within the bounds of earth's material limits.
