Dear Roger,

COP26 isn’t taking place next month in Glasgow, but the vital and hope-filled conversations on how to stop the climate crisis will continue.

During the next three weeks, people of faith from around the world will unite to raise awareness and motivate action on climate change. Join us.

Every day of inaction on climate change puts the future of humanity in deeper peril and exacerbates pre-existing inequalities and vulnerabilities. As people of faith, we understand that the climate crisis calls on our core values.

Join people of faith from all over the world for a three-part series on the climate crisis from a faith perspective:
