The Latest on How We're Renewing Our World

A Green Revolution In Pakistan

Rashid Hameed* is 51 years old and lives in one of the 34 informal settlements in Islamabad, Pakistan. His community has no waste collection service, and rubbish is dumped and burned in the open.

Rashid explains: ‘Our slum is located on the bank of a stream, which is full of solid waste and is a breeding place for mosquitoes, flies and rats. These cause diseases in our children and old people, and we spend a great deal of money on their treatment. People living outside the slum discriminate against us because of our unclean environment.’

Bible Study: Taking Care Of God's Earth

The earth does not belong to us – it belongs to God! It is a gift from God, a home that we share with the rest of creation. But with this gift comes responsibility.

How to take action on climate

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.

Backsliding on the Paris Agreement is not an option

Climate talks limp over the line

The annual UN Climate Talks - COP24 - ended with a whimper rather than a bang in Katowice, Poland, late on Saturday 15 December after overrunning by more than 24 hours.

Sadly these talks have been characterised by dithering and disruption rather than recapturing the high level of ambition that led to the Paris Agreement on climate change three years ago. They agreed a rulebook to implement the Paris Agreement, so enough progress was made to keep things moving forward. But much more ambition will be needed very soon to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C.

America's still in - climate, the US, and the evangelical church

The rest of us can overcome climate change together without America, but it'd be harder. The US is the world's second largest emitter and President Trump has announced that they're leaving the Paris Agreement, 2015's historic global climate change agreement which every nation signed. Leaving takes three years, so for now, they're still in, and I'm praying God will change hearts and minds so they stay after all.

Why every degree matters

The IPCC report is a very loud wake-up call, outlining that we need to take urgent action now to keep warming to 1.5 degrees. Every small increase above this level will have
