Faith groups to ‘Make COP26 Count’

'Faith groups... have a history of driving political change, and can build on this.'

Faith groups should prioritise amplifying the stories of frontline communities impacted by climate breakdown. This was one of the conclusions that came out of an interfaith climate event last month. The Make COP26 Count event, organised by an interfaith coalition including Quakers in Britain, brought MPs, peers and faith representatives together to hear lived experience of global communities on the front line of the crisis. It also focused on next steps, including the need for action on loss and damage financing.
