'Show the Love' on 14 February

On 14 February, St Valentine's Day, the Climate Coalition - which includes many Christian organisations such as CAFOD - invites people to send a green heart to their politicians. Each green heart will carry a short, personal message about what is at the heart of your community - whether that's clean air, warm homes, local green spaces, secure livelihoods, or the wellbeing of children and neighbours. These messages don't need to be long or technical. They're powerful because they're personal, visible and rooted in place. At the heart of a thriving economy and a healthy future is climate and nature action.

In 2026, 'Show the Love' focuses on the things people from all walks of life love and want to protect in our communities, such as local parks to community centres, football pitches to clean rivers, freedom from fear of flooding. At a time when politics can feel divided, 'Show the Love' highlights that there is more that unites us than divides us: a desire to protect our homes, our health, our nature, our livelihoods, and the future we pass on. Politicians should see that support for climate and nature action is grounded in everyday care and local pride - not abstract politics. And climate and nature action is at the heart of strong communities.

In addition, Green Christian is encouraging people to lobby churches to pray for climate and nature on Sunday 15 February. And it supports The Climate and Nature Bill, the only proposed legislation that tackles the climate and nature crises together based on both the latest science and global justice.
