Climate change affects everyone, but especially the poor and most vulnerable people. Whatever your faith journey and motivation, join us in our call to drastically cut carbon emissions to keep the global temperature rise below the dangerous threshold of 1.5°C, and to aid the world’s poorest in coping with climate change impacts.
Many are preaching, teaching, and sharing stories of those impacted to show their commitment to our duty to care for creation. As a person of Faith, help us inspire the many others we need to engage to achieve climate solutions that will protect our families, communities, and the world we all depend on.
The faithful have a long tradition of ministering to and seeking justice for the most vulnerable and providing the action we need to achieve a just and healthy world.
Climate change is a moral and spiritual issue that is causing unprecedented harm to our planet and all who inhabit it. Climate change is having and will continue to have profound effects— from injury and illness to displacement and destruction—on people across the globe. The most vulnerable among us are being harmed first and worst.
Whatever your faith journey, climate change intensifies our shared responsibility as people of faith to our deep commitment to caring for the Earth and each other.

People of faith are inspired to act on climate issues for a multitude of reasons.
If your religious experience is strongly connected to the sanctity of creation, you will likely feel compelled to defend the natural world from the destruction that results from climate damage.
If peacemaking is a primary expression of your faith, you may be alarmed at the various ways in which climate change is sowing conflict over scarce resources.
If the alleviation of poverty is central to your faith, you may be concerned about how the poor are being hit the hardest by pollution and severe weather, yet have the fewest resources to cope with such obstacles.
If overcoming racism is a core aspect of your faith journey, you need not look far to witness climate injustice, such as racial disparities in childhood asthma rates or the inequitable response to disaster that often occurs when communities of color are the primary victims.
If your faith is driven by a passion to care for the next generation, nothing threatens our children’s wellbeing more than an unstable climate.
