We are being hit with more floods, more droughts, and more extreme weather -- and for many people that means less to eat and communities pushed into poverty.
Our generation are the only ones with an opportunity to act -- because time is short. This responsibility belongs to us.
Will you join us? Together we can rise to meet God’s call to love our neighbours, care for creation, and build a just and sustainable world for everyone.
We are calling on our elected leaders to live up to their agreement in these ways:
- agree fair, robust and transparent rules to implement the Paris agreement
- produce national country plans by 2020 with stronger targets and faster cuts in greenhouse gas emissions
- deliver and scale up the promised $100bn for the most vulnerable countries to tackle and adapt to climate change, including for sustainable and resilient smallholder agriculture and clean energy.
We believe the triple challenges of poverty, inequality and environmental sustainability are the defining issues of our generation, and our response to them should guide how we live, how we vote, what we buy and how we pray. In our prayers and actions, we are voices for justice and God’s love.
