Join CAFOD for an online day of talk and prayer to learn more about this year’s climate talks, Pope Francis’ call to action and how people in the Amazon region are leading the fight to care for our common home.

The countdown is on. In a few months, the UK will host the largest gathering of world leaders ever to take place on British soil: the ‘COP26’ climate talks. Our government has a vital role to play in leading global efforts to tackle the climate crisis. But as citizens of the host nation and as people of faith, we have an important role to play too.

‍

This is the time to come together, build a community and act. Do not miss our Faith in Action Day 2021 on Saturday 11 September, 11am-4pm. On this Faith in Action Day you will:
