For our November EcoChallenge, Woodlands People & Planet are keen to see our church family take action as the COP26 conference of world leaders happens in early November in Glasgow. Here in Bristol, there is going to be an online prayer event as well as a climate justice rally that you’re invited to join! Find out more and sign up using the links below.
What is COP26?
In the first two weeks of November, delegates from almost every nation will be gathering in Glasgow, Scotland for a huge United Nations climate change negotiation. Called Conference of Parties 26 (COP26) it will be one of the largest international events ever hosted by the UK, with up to 30,000 people in attendance. Many world leaders, including the Pope and Queen Elizabeth II, will be there, along with policy experts, diplomats, and scientists.
Bristol Rally: 6th November
Tearfund, Christian Aid and other Christian agencies are joining as part of the wider Climate Coalition to organise rallies of support around the country. The P&P group would like to encourage all those in Woodies who are concerned about God's creation and the climate emergency to join us at the Bristol rally on Saturday 6th November at 12 noon.
COP26 Online Prayer Event: 8th November
You’re invited to join us online on the 8th November at 7.30pm for an evening of meditation, reading scripture and praying for COP26. Prayer is a crucial part of our response, and the more we pray, the more passionate we become about joining in with what God is doing and taking action ourselves. Please join with us, as we pray for God to use COP26 to bring restoration to the world.
