As we begin Lent, there are signs of hope – among them a new 2030 net zero target to explore for the Church of England … and a precedent-setting ruling in the UK that requires government policy to take into account the government’s climate commitments under the Paris Agreement. Our prayer points look also at a range of Lent resources from around the world that encourage us to place the world’s brokenness before God and to change our ways. There’s also news that underlines the urgency of such change – especially around Arctic and ocean warming. Join us in prayer …

This month we are praying for the worldwide A Rocha family and for all involved in reorganising the next UN climate conference, following the very late withdrawal of Chile as host. We pray, too, for those affected by floods in Japan and for all trying to work out how to create effective and just strategies for adaptation. And, while we lament how long it has taken to begin emissions reductions on the scale that’s needed, we give thanks for those whose calls for rapid action have helped to shift the global conversation … and for those communities that are beginning to implement rapid plans to reach net zero.

As the Season of Creation begins, we give thanks for the beauty of God’s earth – and pray that more and more people will appreciate the blessings God has given us in the diversity of creation. We pray for protection for the people and rich biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest, for better use of land, and for the many events taking place in September. We lament the melting of glaciers and give thanks for resources that help us change to new habits in a way that is thoughtful and joyful. Join in!

How hot did you say? Extreme heat is underlining the need for climate action. There’s positive progress for which to give thanks – like the commitments to net zero targets, new developments in technology, investor action and increased use of renewables. But there are also roadblocks being set along the way … it’s an important time to pray!
