Advocating for climate justice
LWF advocates for climate justice with a strong focus on implementing the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to below 1,5 degrees Celcius and prevent a climate disaster. Climate change is a present reality, affecting the basics of life, amongst others, the full and effective enjoyment of human rights.
Climate change negatively affects vulnerable groups, the implementation of human rights, health, and biodiversity.
The LWF delegation at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) brings together experienced climate leaders who, together with a youth delegation, advocate for the voiceless from a faith perspective along with ecumenical and interfaith partners at online and in-person meetings.
