Quakers across the world celebrated Earth Day 2020 last week, which this year marked its fiftieth anniversary.

Central England Quakers (CEQ) joined three other groups to hold an online gathering for the day, focusing on how cities are responding to the climate emergency. The interfaith event ‘Our Cities and Climate’ on 22 April was organised by Footsteps (Faiths for a Low Carbon Future), CEQ, Climate Action Network West Midlands (CANWM) and Jai Jagat 2020.
