Counting on … 168

20th October 2025

Despite the powerful words of people like Greta Thunberg, Antonio Guterres, Vanessa Nakate and Pope Francis, the rate of change we see in the world around us is pitifully small in relation to the scale of the disaster we face. More and louder and increasingly persuasive voices need to be heard. We all need to become prophets of climate action. We need to be as well informed,  as articulate and as persistent as we possibly can be. 

Here are some pointers and resources.

How to have conversations about climate change in your daily life:-

How to talk with your MP

(Although this focused on a particular ask, the principles apply generally to climate issues)

Writing to your MP about the CAN Bill

Looking ahead, the Climate Coalition organises annual events through which  you can engage with your local community: eg Show the Love campaign and The Big Green Week

Training courses – Hope for the Future is a charity  dedicated to training and supporting people to engage in effective and constructive conversations with their local politicians on climate and nature

Join a climate group with a prophetic edge. eg:-

Green Christian https://greenchristian.org.uk/

Christian Climate Action https://christianclimateaction.org/

Christian Aid https://www.christianaid.org.uk/

Laudato Si movement https://laudatosimovement.org/
