Faith leaders and civil society leaders will gather around a table set with empty plates today, in a vivid demonstration of their hunger for climate justice at COP21.
Stand with thousands of others fasting for action on climate change. A growing movement of youth, environmentalists and people of faith are showing their strength of commitment by going without food once a month to call for world leaders to do more to solve the climate crisis.
The global climate negotiations are making real progress, but our leaders haven’t reached a deal yet.
And new, horrifying pressures are on Paris. Just when we are called to unite as one human family, political and religious extremists have attacked the city, hoping to drive a wedge between faiths and peoples.
We must not let this divide us. People of all faiths and none must stand together. Now, more than ever, we must call on the leaders of all states to join as one human family to face the climate crisis. Unity is not an option, but a necessity – for the environment, and for our selves.
