Climate Sunday
Local churches around Britain and Ireland are coming together before COP26, to worship, commit and speak up. Climate Sunday is the UK’s largest ecumenical initiative in the lead up to COP26. You’re invited to hold a climate-focussed service, where you can commit to long term action for the climate and raise your voice, to call for change.
Make sure you register your Climate Sunday service, to be included in our collective act of worship on 5 September 2021, live from Glasgow cathedral. Here, we’ll be presenting faith and government leaders with the actions churches have taken to step towards climate justice.
Climate Sunday is being organised by EIN, the Environmental Issues Network of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland.
