Westminster Justice and Peace are uniting with groups of Christians and people from different faiths and backgrounds who want to see an international agreement on the reduction of carbon emissions at the UN Paris Climate talks in December 2015. To highlight the huge importance of these talks they plan to cycle to Paris to take part in rallies of support for climate justice and to meet other people of faith who want to see a change in our profligate use of fossil fuel.

Phase 1 of the pilgrimage is from London to Newhaven from 29th - 31st August. Phase 2 is from Dieppe - Paris in the first week of December.

There are jobs for everyone - whether you are cyclist or prefer to work as a welcomer or support in other ways. If you would like to get involved, email one of addresses below, with the subject heading:
