The World Council of Churches has proclaimed the Ecumenical Decade of Climate Justice (2025-2034). It is a bold invitation from the World Council of Churches and ecumenical partners worldwide to undertake a pilgrimage of repentance, renewal, and action to confront the climate emergency with courage, hope, and love.

Our Vision for 2034
By the close of this Decade, we envision:
• Churches Leading by Example: Eco-sanctuaries,
climate-centred worship, and pensions invested in life
• Policy Breakthroughs: Ecocide recognized as a crime, fossil fuel phase-out underway, climate finance, justice, and reparations advanced
• Resilient Communities: Indigenous, youth, women,
and frontline communities shaping solutions
• An Economy of Life: Alternatives to extractive
capitalism, rooted in equity, justice, and sustainability
How We Will Journey
The Decade will move forward through six concrete pathways:
1. Transform Theology and Worship – eco-theologies,
creation liturgies, and spiritual disciplines.
2. Promote Holistic Analysis – connecting climate with
justice, economics, race, and gender
3. Equip Faith Communities – toolkits, trainings, and
climate chaplains
4. Mobilize Collective Action – pilgrimages, days of
action, and global campaigns
5. Advocate for Systemic Change – prophetic witness in
courts, policies, and public spaces
6. Invest in Grassroots Solutions – funding local
adaptation, biodiversity protection, and renewable energy
Who Is Involved
This is a whole-church, whole-world journey:
