Climate Justice Fund
The National Church has established a Climate Justice Fund as part of its response to Shrinking the Footprint.
A GLOBAL RESPONSE TO POVERTY IN A CHANGING CLIMATE
Across the world, the poorest and most vulnerable people – those who contribute least to the problem – will continue to suffer unless we act now
The Climate Justice Fund gives you and your church the opportunity to compensate for the size of your carbon footprint

Diocese joins 10:10 campaign
 The Diocese has officially joined the 10:10 campaign. The what?
10:10 is a campaign to commit ourselves to reduce our energy use by 10% in 2010. What could be easier and more beneficial? It saves money, reduces pollution and fits with our own Shrinking the Footprint campaign all in one go
Whilst we have signed up as an organisation we would encourage all individuals and parishes to do the same. A 10% cut is SMART. It is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. If we do it now - we all benefit together. Join in by going to the 10:10 website
CO2PENHAGEN CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE
What is happening?
The Copenhagen Climate Change conference in December is the most important gathering of world leaders since the meeting in Kyoto 1997. The Kyoto protocol expires in 2012 and this meeting will set the pattern for its replacement
We need to make sure that we ensure a fair deal for the world’s poor. It is probably the last chance we have to keep global temperature rises below 2oC
If we do that we avoid:
- water shortages for up to 3 billion people
- flooding nearly 20% of Bangladesh by rising sea levels
- 60 million more people exposed to malaria
- 30 million more people going hungry
What can you do?
