Read the United Church of Canada information about Climate Change

“Climate justice is one of the key ethical and moral challenges for our time. As people of faith, the United Church believes that we can’t apply a quick technological fix to climate change, but instead need to change how we live our lives on this fragile planet. The Earth can’t be seen only as a source of resource extraction and wealth generation, but as a community in which we live and move and have our being. We must work to repair the world—making a new global covenant—through personal life changes, spiritual renewal, and political action. This action needs to happen at all levels, with changes in all institutions and economies.”
