Summary/Abstract: The article shows the importance of religious and ethical approaches to climate change. Since early 70s we know that ecological crisis can’t be solved only by technical means. In current climate debate we hear not only voices of government leaders and business representatives. We see that in the debate are involved also scientists, philosophers, NGO representatives, writers, and … religious leaders. Consequences of decision that will be made on the Copenhagen Summit in December 2009 have religious and ethical perspectives and the debate must be enriched with these dimensions. Religion and ethics bring values to the climate debate which have the needed potential to affect politicians to make right decisions and ordinary people to change their live style.
