Global divestment announcement: divest your church in the year of COP26
Together with our friends at the Global Catholic Climate Movement, World Council of Churches, Green Anglicans and GreenFaith, Operation Noah is delighted to launch the next global divestment announcement for faith organisations, which will take place on 17 May 2021.
Churches and other faith organisations joining the announcement commit to divest any investments in fossil fuel companies within a five-year timeframe and pledge not to invest in fossil fuels in the future. Even if your church doesn’t currently hold any fossil fuel investments (for instance, if it only has a bank account), it can make a powerful statement by pledging not to invest in fossil fuels in the future.
Get in touch with Bokani Tshidzu by 10 May 2021 for further information or to register your interest.
Scottish Faith Leaders Sign COP26 pledge
More than 50 faith leaders have signed the Scottish Churches COP26 Pledge following its launch at a webinar earlier this month. The Bishops of Edinburgh and Brechin, the Leader of the Iona Community and the Head of Christian Aid Scotland are among the signatories.
The webinar, entitled COP26, Divestment and Investment in a Just and Green Recovery, explored how churches in Scotland, both locally and nationally, can support a just and green recovery by divesting from fossil fuels and re-orienting investments towards a clean energy future. It was hosted by Eco-congregation Scotland, Operation Noah and partners and attended by nearly 200 people.
