The Uniting Church in Australia is committed to caring for our environment and a more sustainable future, with a commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2040. At the heart of this work is the Assembly Net Zero Emissions Steering Group, continuing to guide and resource the Church as we respond faithfully to the call for climate justice.
All members of our Church are invited to take part in a series of online Roundtable gatherings being staged this year. They are designed to inform, equip and inspire practical action in our communities.
Each two-hour session will be held via Zoom and will explore a different dimension of the Church’s climate response:
Roundtable 1 – The Advocacy Calling of the Uniting Church for Climate Justice
Thursday 21 May at 2pm AEST
Discover how you and your community can engage in advocacy and connect with wider Uniting Church initiatives working for climate justice.

Roundtable 2 – Practical Steps toward Net Zero by 2040

Roundtable 3 – Exploring First Peoples’ Wisdom and Climate Justice
Thursday 16 July at 2pm AEST
Engage with the deep knowledge of First Peoples, explore what it means to care for Country, and consider how we can walk together in practical and respectful ways.
These gatherings are more than information sessions – they are opportunities to connect with others, share ideas and be encouraged in your own efforts. Whether you’re just beginning or already active in climate work, the Roundtables aim to support and strengthen your contribution.
Together, as a Church, we are called not only to respond to the climate crisis, but to lead with hope, justice and care for all creation. These Roundtables are an invitation to be part of that shared calling within your congregation, your community and beyond.
