The Lancet published results of a survey of 10,000 16-25 year olds in 10 countries on how they felt about climate change and government responses.  It found that “the …emotional, cognitive, social, and functional burdens of climate change are profoundly affecting huge numbers of young people around the world.”  

"We are a team of young people who want to save the planet. Scientists have told us we have less than twelve years in order to avoid some of the worts effects of climate change. Our Earth system is rapidly changing, and the effects on our planet, our ecosystems, and humanity are devestating.... Youth climate activists from all over the world are uniting to take action and demand a better future for ourselves and future generations...Join us."

The latest report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states we have entered “unprecedented territory,” a “Code Red for Humanity.” We can still regenerate conditions for thriving life but only if we act now at the right scale. The only antidote to extinction is regeneration. We can no longer be sustainable with a degraded environment. Humanity must proactively regenerate the world.

As residents and protectors of the world's third-largest rainforest and largest tropical island, West Papuans have launched a 'Green State Vision' during COP26. This is the cutting-edge of indigenous proposals for addressing the world’s climate crisis.

Our Mission: Faith for the Climate exists to encourage, inspire and equip faith communities in their work on the crisis of climate change – the biggest and most urgent challenge facing humanity. People of faith see our planet as a gift, and believe we have a sacred responsibility to care for and protect the Earth’s climate for future generations.

In August 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published the results of its Sixth Assessment Report on Climate Change.  In short, human activity is ‘unequivocally’ driving unprecedented changes in the planet’s climate (no small statement from the usually conservative IPCC).  

I Environmental injustice, including the proliferation of climate change, systematically impacts communities of color and low-income communities in the U.S. and around the world.
