History of the Symposia
History of the RSE Symposia
Since 1995, the non-governmental organization Religion, Science & the Environment has convened five symposia to study the fate of the world’s main bodies of water, which cover seven-tenths of the earth’s surface.
These assemblies of scientists, environmentalists, policy-makers and representatives of the world’s main religious faiths have established an environmental ethics movement, and have drawn global attention to the degradation of the Aegean Sea, the Black Sea, the Danube River, the Adriatic Sea, and the Baltic Sea. Religion, Science & the Environment remains committed to promoting awareness of the world’s rivers and seas and to building capacities for environmental improvement.
In July 2006, the sixth symposium will visit the Amazon River.
