Zero Carbon Britain - Two day training course
2022-05-18 10:00 - 2022-05-19 17:00 (Europe/London)
Tackling climate change is essential to the life of faith. It is a way to love our neighbour and to care for the gift of creation. In 2020, recognising that the global climate emergency is a crisis for God’s creation, and a fundamental injustice, the General Synod of the Church of England set a bold target of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2030. We hope this course will inspire and equip you to act to reach this target.
