Loka works to engage, inspire, and involve the public by bringing the forces of religion and science together on environmental and climate solutions at events that showcase dialogue between senior scientists and senior faith leaders. These events, as well as Loka’s strategic goals, are developed through extensive partnerships across campus, academia, local and global faith communities, and environmental activists and professionals. As part of this work, Loka launched a quarterly newsletter showcasing faith and Indigenous leaders who lead transformative environmental and climate work in order to help lift their voices and reach new audiences.

Loka continues to expand its online community-building and information-sharing networks to support the work inspired through public outreach. We hosted our first symposium in 2019 that brought together senior faith leaders from different religious traditions, scientists, economists, academics, policy administrators, business leaders and representatives from the public sector from around the world to collaborate on solving social and environmental problems. The Symposium kicked off in May of 2019. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Loka pivoted its planned events online. We are currently tentatively planning our next symposium for the summer of 2024.
