What was Climate Sunday?
The national initiative encouraged churches across Great Britain and Ireland to hold climate-focused worship, commit to practical action and speak up for a cleaner, fairer future ahead of COP26.
Climate Sunday
Creation care, parish climate action and historical Climate Sunday resources.
Care for creation
Faith, hope and care for our common home
The parish Climate Sunday archive records the work of the Guardian Angels for Climate Sunday group and the community’s involvement in Christian climate action around COP26.
The material below is clearly organised as a historical parish record, with older dates and campaigns kept in context rather than presented as current notices.
