Abstract
Based on the environmental thought of the Patriarch of Constantinople, we study the importance of considering the environmental issues and crisis in the light of a conceptualization that emphasizes the significance of the ontological argument, as a key category of meaning for environmental thought. The Patriarch Bartholomew has developed a rich environmental argument related with the theological, spiritual and religious foundations of Christianity. A rich environmental argumentation and deep meanings provided by Orthodox Theology in understanding the causes and solutions of moderm environmental issues stand out as the result of this research.
