THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

The integrity of God’s creation is under threat and at risk of collapse. The triple environmental crisis of climate change, bio*diversity loss, and pollution is an existential threat to billions of people and species of plants and animals across the globe. While in recent years the Synod has passed a number of motions relating to the environment and wider sustainability concerns and there is no question that our carbon footprint is much smaller than before the coronavirus pandemic, there remains an urgent need to do more. Many parishes are already very active in this area. It is not enough to change what we do, we must transform our relationship with creation.
