🌍 Faith and Environmental Action: What Drives Sustainable Practices? The Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL) research finds that British Hindus lead the way in eco-friendly actions, surpassing other faith groups in environmental engagement. 🔹 Key Findings: ✅ 64% of Hindus participate in rewilding ✅ 78% actively change consumer habits ✅ 44% join environmental groups Why? Hinduism’s emphasis on the interconnectedness of life fosters a deep environmental ethic—nature is sacred, not just a resource. Meanwhile, Muslims and Christians express strong theological commitments to stewardship, but their actual engagement varies. The study highlights how religious perspectives shape environmental action. What role do you think faith plays in driving sustainable behavior? https://lnkd.in/diGvsyjg #Sustainability #FaithInAction #EnvironmentalStewardship

According to the World Economic Forum's findings in 2023, nurturing the right skills in our children is not just beneficial for their future, but for the entire world's economic prosperity!

The ability to approach challenges with fresh perspectives is a skill that will never go out of style. 🌟 Digital Skills: In today's increasingly digitized world, proficiency in emerging technologies is essential. Children should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate and leverage digital tools effectively, setting them up for success in the digital age. 🌟 Collaboration: Success in the future workforce often hinges on the ability to work seamlessly with others. Teaching children how to collaborate, communicate, and delegate tasks effectively prepares them for the collaborative nature of many modern workplaces. 🌟 Global Citizenship: In a world that's becoming more interconnected than ever, fostering a sense of global citizenship is vital.
