Climate Change, COP26 starts & resources for churches
 


cop26 1 500
How are you feeling as we head towards the important Climate Conference COP 26 in Glasgow in November?

Some of you may be hopeful, some may be cynical or even disinterested. But, as God's people, we are called to bring hope and to work for justice and care for God's creation. And how can we do this?

Here in Bristol we have some incredible examples of community action, some of them captured in 17 easy to watch 1 min films (‘The Bristol17’).

Be inspired as to how each of us can join in and be part of a movement for change.

We've all seen the human suffering and nature degradation that is escalating. Let's be part of the solution to prevent this - in our homes, in our churches and in our communities - and bring social and environmental transformation.
