Today, 20 UK churches, dioceses, religious orders and Christian institutions announce their divestment from fossil fuels. They join the growing ‘Fossil Free’ divestment movement, where faith institutions make up 29% of divesting organisations – the greatest proportion of divestment commitments globally. The global total of assets under management of divesting institutions has now surpassed $12 trillion.

This post is written by our guest blogger Bill McGuire. He is Professor Emeritus of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at UCL and author of Waking the Giant: How a Changing Climate Triggers Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Volcanic Eruptions. He was a contributor to the IPCC 2012 report on Climate Change & Extreme Events and Disasters. His new book is Knock Three Times: 28 Modern Folk Tales for a World in Trouble; a short-story anthology co-edited with Andrew Simms.

This annual report was presented by Nicky Bull, Chair of Operation Noah, at our AGM on 29 June in London.

2018 now seems rather a long time ago and although it can be useful to look back we are much more about looking forward, especially at this crucial time for the planet. Nevertheless there are things that I need to highlight about Operation Noah’s year 2018.

Operation Noah has launched a thought-provoking animated film, Sālote, to help Christians around the world recognise the human cost of climate change, and its particular impact on women and children. An accompanying activity pack is also available to order or download.
