The Young Christian Climate Network is an action-focused community of young Christians in the UK aged 18-30, choosing to follow Jesus in the pursuit of climate justice. In 2021, the group organized a walk of over 1,000 miles to the UN COP26 climate summit — from Cornwall, England to Glasgow, Scotland.
The group asked the UK government to:
-
-
Reinstate foreign aid budget to pre-COVID levels;
-
Secure agreement from rich countries to at least double the decade-old promise of $100bn a year for climate finance;
-
Ensure finance for climate-induced loss and damage; and
-
Push for debt cancellation so climate-vulnerable nations can better confront the climate crisis and other urgent priorities.

The Young Christian Climate Network continues its mission after COP26. Follow them on their website.
