Advocating for climate justice

LWF advocates for climate justice with a strong focus on implementing the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to below 1,5 degrees Celcius and prevent a climate disaster. Climate change is a present reality, affecting the basics of life, amongst others, the full and effective enjoyment of human rights.

Climate change negatively affects vulnerable groups, the implementation of human rights, health, and biodiversity.

The LWF delegation at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) brings together experienced climate leaders who, together with a youth delegation, advocate for the voiceless from a faith perspective along with ecumenical and interfaith partners at online and in-person meetings.

People of faith present their calls, hopes and demands for climate justice at COP26 to political leaders 

Join us at COP26, where faith activists, youth, and leaders from around the world will present their calls, hopes, and demands for climate justice to political leaders.

In the run-up to COP26, people of faith worldwide have been mobilizing to demand climate justice from COP26. The LWF, with the Global Action and Prayer Chain for Climate Justice, is calling on governments to ramp up their efforts and commitments to limit global warming to 1.5°C with a petition.

The event will feature the handover of petitions and statements, hearing demands for climate justice from youth activists, and joining together in prayer for bold and just climate action at COP26.
