Praying for the Plastics Treaty Talks
Prayer requests from our team at the INC4 talks in Ottawa, Canada
Climate Action Now!
Renew Our World are delighted to announce the launch of our climate global
moment 2019! The growing emergency is the defining issue of our time and now is
the defining moment to do something about it. There is still time to tackle
climate change, but it will require an unprecedented effort from all sectors of
society. We don't want to see communities pushed back into poverty. We don't
want to see growing instability in climate-vulnerable parts of the world. We
believe God’s heart for justice requires us to act now.
We want our governments to step up and announce new climate pledges and bold
national climate plans at the UN Climate Summit. We know God can bring hope to
hopeless situations. Let’s bring hope by speaking together in one bold voice,
praying and taking action. We know that God is on the move, renewing our world,
and wants us to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Will you join us? Here is
how you can take action and join our global moment.
Bring your advocacy online by taking part in our visual petition! All you have
to do is write 'Renew Our World' on a sheet or piece of paper and take a picture
of yourself holding the banner. You can do this on your own or with some
friends! Then post your photo on social media with the following text: ‘I’m
calling for more ambition and urgency in the (insert the name of your country)
