Effects of climate change
Climate change affects us all – but those hit first and hardest
are people living in poverty. Already, 150,000 people die each year
from the effects of climate change, almost all in developing countries.

Climate change is an issue of justice. While the rich world consumes
far more of the Earth’s resources, poor communities bear the brunt
of extreme weather.
Climate change threatens to reverse
any progress towards ending poverty.
You are all one in Christ JesusGalatians 3:28
Jesus commands us to love our neighbours
Mark 12:31
Closing our eyes to our neighbours also blinds us from God.
