Last week the UN Biodiversity Conference, COP17 ended in Yerevan, Armenia. An Anglican Communion delegation attended, with Bishop Graham Usher, Lead Bishop for the Environment, joining young Anglicans from around the world.
From 9 - 20 November, the UN Climate Change Conference, COP31, is being held in Antalya, Türkiye. On the agenda are topics such as electrification, zero waste, energy efficiency, climate resilience and clean energy transition. The Anglican Communion will be at this COP too, bringing their Lungs of the Earth campaign seeking to restore and protect God’s world. They will be sharing their experiences on their social media.
As Christians, we can pray for COP, for those attending, and the decisions they make. Read the full blog about COP. A prayer you can use while praying for COP is available here.
