Climate Change

Faith and Climate Change

Scientists tell us climate change is real; the science is sound; and the effects are likely to be severe. As people of faith, we are called to care for all of God's children, especially the most vulnerable, and to protect and restore God's creation. Climate change is a threat to all people and all of creation. Join us as we work to address climate change

About Our Work

For more than 25 years, the Eco-Justice Program has worked to secure climate justice for communities and Creation. We have educated thousands of congregations on the impacts of climate change, engaged senior religious leaders in both national and international policy debates and worked with individuals, congregations and communities to help them reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
