Operation Noah has released a report that makes recommendations on ways to reduce and store carbon emissions to one of the country’s largest landowners, the Church of England, which owns approximately 0.5% of the UK’s land. The report is also relevant to other UK Churches and Christian groups, estimated to own another 0.5% of the UK’s land.
We are inviting you to join us on Tuesday at 7pm as we host an online event exploring our new report – scheduled to release on the same day – ‘Church Land and the Climate Crisis: A Guide to Action’, which outlines the scope for reducing greenhouse gas emissions on Church land, as well as enhancing carbon sinks such as woodlands and peatlands.
The two biggest things that happened environmentally at this summer’s Lambeth Conference – the once-a-decade gathering of Anglican bishops – were the announcement of a global project to protect forests, reforest land and restore nature, and the introduction of a document on the environment. Operation Noah recently spoke to Revd Dr Rachel Mash, secretary of the Anglican Communion Environmental Network, about the environmental significance of Lambeth.

In July’s newsletter, we revisit our recent Global Divestment Announcement in which 35 faith institutions from seven countries representing over $1.25 billion in combined assets divested from fossil fuel companies. We also explore how the Diocese of Truro is moving to net zero while investing in climate solutions, and we celebrate the Methodist Church of Great Britain’s decision to endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, becoming the largest UK denomination to do so.
In a challenge to the fossil fuel industry’s dangerous expansion plans and increasingly empty rhetoric on climate, 35 faith institutions from seven countries today announced their divestment from fossil fuel companies. Organised by the World Council of Churches, Operation Noah, Laudato Si’ Movement, Green Anglicans and GreenFaith, this latest divestment announcement comes from faith institutions in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Italy, the UK and the US.
