In our August newsletter, we question how it’s even possible that after a summer of extreme heat, wildfires, school closures and ruined crops, Andy Burnham could consider approving the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields; we also invite you to join us this weekend at Greenbelt for two panel discussions in the Hot House venue on Friday (3.30pm) and Saturday (3.30pm) or at our upcoming Green Investment Roadshow events in London (7 September) and Worcester (24 September). All of that plus the latest climate news, campaigning opportunities and more.

As the impacts of climate change become increasingly visible, the need for a strong Christian witness has never been greater. Yet just as this work has become more urgent, our financial situation has become more challenging. This month we are asking all of our supporters – both churches and individuals – to consider giving monthly to our work.

The June heatwave we’ve just experienced – not to mention the likelihood of more heatwaves in the weeks to come – make the latest Banking on Climate Chaos report urgent reading, and remind us that global overheating isn’t just happening, it’s being funded. This is why we’re calling on Christians to stop using fossil fuel-funding banks like Barclays and HSBC, and switch to a greener bank.
