Daily Prayers and Meditations for Climate Change – COP 29

The 2024 Climate Change Conference will begin in Azerbaijan on November 11. On each day, Prayers and Meditations will be held for the welfare of our Earth and for the welfare of all who have suffered the impact of climate extremes. We will pray for our Earth, we will pray for our Cities, we will pray for our forests, and we will pray for all life-forms on Earth and in the Seas. The weekly prayers up to 5 November have been exceedingly well supported. Now, we continue for the duration of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, daily. All welcome to join. .

A Sacred Call for Climate Justice

 

Each year, thousands gather at the United Nations climate conference to seek urgent solutions for our planet’s most pressing issues. At COP29 in Baku, the World Council of Churches is taking a stand for climate justice, uniting faith-based voices to advocate for vulnerable communities across Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.

Driven by faith, the World Council of Churches calls upon us to be stewards of creation, defending biodiversity and amplifying the voices of those often left unheard—women, children, Indigenous peoples, and persons with disabilities. Together, we demand urgent climate action to protect all of God’s creation.

COP29 Interfaith Call to Action

 

We stand at a crossroads, facing an existential threat to life on Earth as we know it. The urgency to act cannot be overstated. As people of faith from diverse traditions, we believe the climate emergency must be addressed on a moral level, with decisions driven by honesty, compassion, courage, trust, and foresight. The survival of our planet and future generations depends on the choices made today.

The protection of our common home, Mother Earth, cannot wait. We need to take action now to confront and remedy the interconnected crises of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, and land degradation.

Interfaith Liaison Committee COP29 Talanoa

 

The Interfaith Liaison Committee (ILC) to the UNFCCC, shares an invitation to attend a virtual COP29 Talanoa Dialogue tomorrow, November 6th, 2024 from 14:30-16:00 CET. You are invited to register for the event here.

Talanoa dialogues are Fijian indigenous peoples' way of solving problems in their communities. Participants are led to address the following questions: Where are we?, Where do we want to go?, How do we get there?

ILC has held these gatherings at the start of many prior COPs. This year's Talanoa Dialogue aims to provide a nourishing and hopeful space for climate justice advocates before the opening of proceedings in Baku. It also aspires to be a space of holistic reflection, building strength and resilience in the face of the climate crisis.

You can learn more about the ILC here and sign on to their COP29 Interfaith Call to Action. For those who will be in Baku, an in-person Interfaith gathering will be held at the COP29 faith pavilion on November 12, 2024.
