Jesus: The unexpected environmentalist in the fight against the climate crisis!

Jesus Christ, revered by many as the Messiah, could today appear as a passionate environmentalist. According to an analysis by Today.at, the writings of the New Testament make it clear that Jesus already had an awareness of nature back then. Markus Gerhartinger from the Archdiocese of Vienna emphasizes that in the ancient context, humans were closely connected to nature. The source interprets through five pieces of evidence that Jesus' teachings contain calls to preserve creation. Cardinal Schönborn takes a clear position in this context: “It is not too late, the world can still be saved!”

Jesus in today's climate discussion

According to former television presenter Franz Alt, Jesus would now be at the forefront of environmental protection movements, actively fighting climate change and advocating for social justice. It highlights the challenges posed by current policies and calls for complementary measures in various areas to achieve sustainable change. According to Alt, caring for the earth is a human responsibility, and he sees parallels between Jesus' concerns and today's calls for better environmental policy.

Alt also emphasizes the need for holistic approaches and adaptable ways of thinking in society. “One of Angela Merkel's biggest mistakes was that she always said that there was no alternative to her policies,” says Alt, describing the stagnating developments of the current government. He calls for more citizens to put pressure on politicians to initiate a change towards greater environmental protection and social justice. His remarks help highlight the relevance of Jesus' message to today's societal challenges, emphasizing the urgency of change to preserve the earth.
