Fast for the Climate | March

Fast for the Climate | March

1 Mar 2015
Open to All

 

One fast. One day. Every month.

The LWF is calling for a fast on the first day each month until December 2015, when the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will take place in Paris, France.  

We fast in many different places and faith communities worldwide.

We fast for climate justice.

We fast in solidarity:

  • With people around the world affected by climate change
  • With the millions who have lost homes and livelihoods because of extreme weather events
  • In remembrance of the many who have lost their lives

Fasting is a long-standing spiritual practice found in many religious traditions.
