Responding to the Climate Crisis

The Problem

The climate crisis is both a growing and urgent global issue. Few human and wildlife communities on the planet remain unaffected. July 2023 was recorded as the hottest average global temperature in history! Typhoons, drought, rising sea levels, wildfires and flooding impact people and wildlife populations. Such natural occurrences, compounded by human-induced factors, threaten life and the way of life for all creation.

All creation is groaning and waiting…how will the church respond?

Important Considerations for Artistic Impact Solutions:

What are some of the most pressing problems facing humanity in this era of climate change? Here are some specific responses for which we are inviting artistic impact solutions for the global ecclesia to consider this season:

Climate migration - Although global migration is already happening for various reasons, how many people in the future will be forced to migrate due to climate events? Learn more… (include links to Lausanne and other practical help)
State of the planet for the next generation - The impact of the climate crisis is exacerbated by human-induced factors. Based on current consumption patterns and rates of resource extraction (e.g. deforestation), what will be left for today's youth and future generations? Learn more…
Biodiversity loss - Climate change is not an isolated issue. With its many cascading impacts, another effect is the loss of biodiversity. How do human actions impact wildlife populations and the natural world as a whole?
