Climate Change

Over the last few weeks, the UK has hosted the UN climate summit COP26 in Glasgow. Governments of practically every country have come together to make plans for tackling the climate crisis. Decisions made will affect us all – especially those living in poverty who bear the brunt of the climate emergency.

At Ebe, we want to continue to live out a biblical vision to ‘act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God’ (Micah 6:8, The Bible) and what does this look with the climate crisis that we are facing. On this page are some resources to help you research, pray and take action. If you have more resources to add then please email info@ebe.org.uk
