Rosa Hunt and guests discuss responding to the climate crisis.

We are now a week into the COP26 summit.  It is being described as the most significant climate event since the 2015 Paris Agreement, with world leaders meeting to make pledges to cut carbon emissions and to limit global temperature rises.  And we are all being challenged to make changes to our own lifestyles.  Faith leaders around the world have spoken out on the matter, and many church communities are committing to programmes such as EcoChurch and Climate Change Sunday, to play their part.  All this raises questions about the church’s underlying role in leading and encouraging its members to be custodians of creation.  How are people of faith seeking to contribute?   Should safeguarding the environment actually move beyond lifestyle changes, to fundamentally shifting the moral values and principles of society?  To discuss all this, Rosa Hunt is joined by:

Dr Celia Deane-Drummond, Director of the Laudato Si’ Research Institute and Senior Research Fellow in Theology at Campion Hall, University of Oxford;
Dr Cynan Llwyd, Head of Tearfund Wales;
Rev Dr Dave Bookless, Director of Theology for A Rocha International, conservationist and Vicar of St Mary’s, Norwood Green;
And Rachie Ross, an Eco Theologian, Trustee for Operation Noah, and active member of Christian Climate Action.
