More than 70 organisations are running a “Faith Pavilion” at the climate change summit Cop29 in Azerbaijan. A number of workshops, presentations, speeches and discussions will be held from 12 – 22 November under the title "Bringing Faith to the Climate Frontlines," offering insights into faith, justice, and environmental stewardship.
The programme includes aid organisations and global faith groups who will engage in interfaith dialogue with an emphasis on spiritual and ethical values in response to the climate crisis. The Bishop of Norwich, Graham Usher, and the Catholic Bishop of Salford, John Arnold, have written a joint letter urging the government to ensure large polluters contribute more towards climate finance at COP29. They are calling for higher taxes on fossil fuel companies to help support countries most affected by the climate crisis.
