Operation Noah is a Christian charity working with the Church to inspire action on the climate crisis
We’re a small charity that makes a big impact
Faith-motivated
We believe that the climate and nature crises raise questions that go to the heart of our Christian faith.
Science-informed
Faith and science should complement each other, and at Operation Noah, we see no conflict between the two.
Hope-inspired
Our Christian hope gives us confidence to take action on the climate and nature crises, even if success is not always guaranteed or even likely.
