Christians have made their presence felt at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
Many young evangelicals were among the thousands who marched through the city as part of the Fridays For Future movement, inspired by the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who was at the rally. Churches were behind a special handing-in of petition signatures and paper ‘prayer boats’ to the COP presidency.
The messages called on political leaders at the summit to put in place legislation and policies that would limit warming to 1.5ºC, deliver on existing climate-finance commitments for people already the worst affected by climate change, and shift investment from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy.
