June 2021 Prayer Points

/in , /by

This month, we bring before God:

  • The G7 meeting, with its chance to progress climate finance.
  • The promises governments and others are making: are they real harbingers of progress? Or greenwash?
  • Action by investors and a Dutch court to hold oil companies to account.
  • Changes in the polar regions – and the concerns of young people, both of which underline the need for urgent action.
  • An Australian judge’s ruling, which  recognises a duty to protect young people from climate harms.

May 2021 Prayer Points

/in , /by

There’s hope for progress after the United States’ Leaders Summit on Climate – and we give thanks for that and for progress on decarbonisation, while recognising that more is needed. Scientists raise an alert that we have to be careful about how we set net zero targets; a new ‘non-proliferation’ treaty on fossil fuels receives approbation from over 100 Nobel prize winners; we pray about key species, ecosystems and people under threat; and   remember wise words from Prince Philip about the imperative to care for creation and former Archbishop Rowan Williams’ call to care for the Body of Christ present and yet to come.
