Webinar: Church investment in climate solutions report launch

Across the world, people are experiencing the increasingly severe impacts of the climate emergency - with those in marginalised communities who have done the least to cause it the most affected.

The United Nations and International Energy Agency have highlighted the urgent need for investment in clean energy, stating that private and public investment in renewable energy must treble to $4 trillion a year by 2030 if we are to reach net zero by 2050 and have a chance of limiting global heating to 1.5°C.

Most UK Churches have now made commitments to divest from fossil fuel companies. As well as divesting from fossil fuel producers, it is vital for Churches to increase investment in climate solutions such as renewable energy and energy efficiency, which reduce the demand for fossil fuels.

A Webinar: Church Investment in Climate Solutions Report Launch will take place on Tuesday 22 November 2022 from 7-8.30pm

Join this webinar to find out how and why Churches and faith institutions in the UK should increase investment in climate solutions.

We'll be joined by several inspiring speakers including:

Lorna Gold (Director of Movement Building at FaithInvest and Chair of the Laudato Si' Movement)
John O'Shaughnessy (Chief Financial/Investment Officer at the Franciscan Sisters of Mary and Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Catholic Impact Initiative Collaborative (CIIC))
Mike Sturgess (Chair of the Diocesan Board of Finance in the Church of England Diocese of Truro)
James Buchanan (Bright Now Campaign Director at Operation Noah) and Julia Corcoran (Bright Now Campaign Manager at Operation Noah), authors of the report
