EcoFaith Dialogues
Climate change affects more than just global temperature and polar bears. Climate change affects the lives and wellbeing of people all over the world. In developing countries climate change impacts threaten livelihoods, access to food, and access to potable water. 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.
