Christians believe that God intends to redeem all of creation through the saving work of Jesus Christ. Let’s all be a part of that!
We learn more every day about the crisis our planet is facing from climate change. Among all the perils and disasters facing our world, this might turn out the worst.
Expert reports by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organisation have shown how the surface of our planet is melting, flooding and burning.
This is a challenge to governments, businesses, people young and old, communities, people, churches. Us. Our lives will change. Our actions can influence how.
Since February 2019, following a motion from the Dioceses of London and Truro, the CoE has been ramping up its efforts. New actions and targets are being planned by the national Environmental Working Group.

Climate change and other dangerous environmental changes are already happening. They will become increasingly severe and threatening, every year and every day we neglect to deal with them with firmness and perseverance.
Already in 2009, at a national meeting on the environment in Lambeth Palace, a then government minister, the Rt Hon Joan Ruddock MP, said:
“We used to think that climate change was a problem for our grandchildren, then we found out it was a problem for our children, now we realise it is a problem for us.”
We want the voice of children and young people to be heard through our voices and reflected in our actions concerning the environment, especially climate change. That is why our more than 150 church schools, and all their pupils and students, are so important. It is their future.
Christians believe the future is also in God’s hands, and we must ultimately answer to God.
