She is the Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy, a Distinguished Professor at Texas Tech University, and one of TIME’s "100 Most Influential People". But what sets her apart is how she bridges the worlds of science and faith with clarity, compassion, and conviction. With over 125 peer-reviewed publications and contributions to major climate assessments, Katharine helps communities and leaders understand how climate change affects the most vulnerable among us. She co-authored A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions with her husband, pastor and author Andrew Farley, and her bestselling book Saving Us offers a hopeful path forward. Named one of Christianity Today’s “50 Women to Watch,” Katharine believes that caring for God’s creation is a matter of loving our neighbour — especially the poor and the marginalized. Whether she’s speaking in churches or briefing policymakers, her message is rooted in both scientific evidence and a deep conviction that our faith calls us to act.
