Climate Change
The climate change working group addresses one of the most crucial environmental issues facing humanity. Many parts of the world are facing serious disruptions caused by climate change. Its challenges strike deep into our society and lifestyles. Climate experts say we need a steep and swift global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet governments disagree about reductions of barely a tenth of what is needed. Find out in these pages what ECEN, in collaboration with other church organisations, is doing to promote action and raise awareness of these crucial issues.
