Calling all climate champions across the Uniting Church!
You're invited to be part of the Assembly's second online national Net-Zero roundtable
26 February 2025, 4-6pm AEDT (1pm AWST, 2:30pm ACST, 3pm AEST)
The 17th Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia in July 2024 resolved to continue the work of the Net Zero Emissions Steering Group to resource and encourage the whole Church to move towards zero emissions by 2040.
The new body of work given to this group includes a mandate to network and promote the resources of the Assembly and for the Assembly to facilitate an annual Net Zero roundtable. This exciting national gathering will bring together and catalyse climate champions in all parts of the church, as we move collectively toward climate justice and Net Zero Emissions by 2040.
Over the next triennium, the Steering Group will develop standardised guidelines for all parts of the church to calculate and report on Greenhouse Gas Emissions. They will conduct a feasibility study into the Uniting Church becoming a provider of carbon offsets and will further explore opportunities to work with First Nations people to bring about climate justice and care for country.
Save the date now and register for the Zoom below. More information will follow soon.
