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.
Climate Action Issue Team
Come talk about all your favorite climate and energy topics with other climate-curious people of faith in Texas! The team will meet every Friday at 10:00 AM on Zoom to talk about current climate and energy events, share success stories, and hear about opportunities to take action on climate and energy-related issues. Come to as many or as few meetings as you are able! Expect a friendly atmosphere to ask questions, learn together, and take action with a supportive group.
787 COLLECTIVE – EcoFaith Dialogues
The EcoFaith Dialogues 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.
CREATION CARE
As more faith groups seek to care for God’s creation, there are increasing opportunities for local partnerships and innovative projects.
