COP30: LWF to highlight impact of faith-rooted climate action

LWF and other faith actors will co-host the Talanoa Dialogue, which offers a space to strengthen solidarity and exchange perspectives on climate justice. There will also be sessions highlighting Indigenous knowledge and environmental protection, and discussions on defending communities affected by the climate emergency. Other events will focus on promoting faith-based and scientific cooperation to limit global warming, advancing advocacy for climate reparations, and ensuring that the global transition to low-carbon economies is fair, inclusive, and rooted in human rights.

As in past COPs, youth will showcase their engagement for climate justice through different initiatives such as tree planting, raising awareness, organizing advocacy workshops, and participating in national climate planning processes.

LWF’s advocacy for a just climate includes resources that feature the contribution of its member churches and World Service country programs in mitigating the global climate emergency.
