CLIMATE JUSTICE

Climate change is a meteorological phenomenon, but its policy urgency stems largely from its impacts on human communities. People around the world, including in Texas, already are feeling the impacts of a changing climate. These impacts fall disproportionately on individuals and communities who are least resilient to them, creating imperatives for policies that are rooted in deeply held, widely shared beliefs about our responsibility to each other.

787 COLLECTIVE – FAITHFUL CLIMATE

The Faithful Climate webinar series highlights the stories of leaders in global missions who have witnessed the impacts of climate change through their work. It is our hope that the interviews you will see in this series of webinars will increase your understanding of the climate crisis and inspire you to take action by joining Texas Impact in our advocacy efforts for climate mitigation at the state, federal, and international levels

DISASTER RESPONSE & RESILIENCE

When disaster strikes, faith communities respond. From local congregations to global institutions, organizations grounded in all the major faith traditions participate in disaster response and recovery.

GLOBAL CLIMATE POLICY

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the foundation for much of this work. Faith communities participate in the UNFCCC’s processes.

TEXAS CLIMATE & ENERGY

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Texas is the largest energy-producing and energy-consuming state in the nation. Texas produces more electricity than any other state, generating almost twice as much as Florida, the second-highest electricity-producing state. Thus, Texas has a disproportionate impact on the ability of the U.S. and the global community to mitigate climate change.
