Thank you friends!
We’re excited to share that we’ve reached our £20k goal with the Green Match Fund! 💚
Your support will help protect vulnerable species like House Martins & Swifts. There’s still time to donate, but additional donations won't be matched.
Thank you! donate.biggive.org/campaign/…

An incredibly effective scheme with thousands of committed individuals in local churches combining with the small ARocha team to achieve inspiring things.I could possibly be accused of bias! But I do see it from the inside, daily. #eco church

We might know the song, “He's Got the Whole World In His Hands”, but what can we do with the world God has placed in our hands? 🤲

So I did. Great interest from passers by, thumbs ups etc. But crazy, as global average temperature passes 1.5 degrees, that anyone should even have to make this point #nofaithinfossilfuels
Earlier today our CEO @Andy2Atkins joined leaders from @CAFOD @Tearfund @christian_aid & @PublicIssues at the Lent Vigil outside UK parliament to show support for the 10 days of prayer for climate justice happening from 14-24th Feb in Parliament Square 🙏🏻

You forgot Guardian readers and environmentalists. The latter are particularly against music competitions because of the carbon emissions of so many people singing loudly

Great work by a growing number of partner organisations.
Did you know that our Target 25 project covers three of the four key habitats featured in the recent BBC #BBCWildIsles?

If this is so, it’s great news for nature, parliamentary democracy and a few other things we should all care about. #wildchristian #ecochurch theguardian.com/politics/202…

Feeling a bit cross today at the news about how Britain's recession is going be worse than that in the US or the Eurozone. Someone, somewhere, has clearly made some bad choices.

Every time I hear a Tory MP complain about £5 million or £50 million being spent on asylum seekers I remember that they spent £120 million on the Festival of Brexit which included putting an old empty oil rig on display in Weston-super-Mare

BREAKING: Germany has just announced UNLIMITED public transport anywhere in the country will cost just £1.40 PER DAY.
Officials say the policy is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and helping with the cost of living.
Anyone else think our government should do something similar?

If they could …
“The way a government treats its refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”

There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change.
There is no energy security without investing in renewables.
That is why I will attend @COP27P next week: to deliver on Glasgow's legacy of building a secure and sustainable future.
Roll up, roll up!
Join @Andy2Atkins @ARochaUK + special guests online on Tuesday 15 November 7-8pm, the eve of COP27’s ‘Biodiversity day’ to dig a little deeper into the issue of the links between climate and nature:

This is quite shocking. Emissions projections out yesterday show the UK will:
🔴Overshoot our 2030 Paris agreement emissions commitment by 40%
🔴Blow our 6th carbon budget by a huge 100%
