climate change
Climate change has become an issue of major importance in the media and across the political spectrum.
- Do the churches - or individual Christians - have a particular role to play in regard to climate change and the environment?
- Is climate change due to our lack of proper care for God's created world?
- As climate change is having a disproportionate effect on many of the poorest parts of the world, to what extent is this a justice issue?
These and other similar questions have been challenging churches for many years now, both to reflect on environmental issues from a theological point of view and to develop programmes of practical action.
