Climate change and your church
01 March 2024
Climate change is already affecting churches and buildings. So, while reducing your carbon footprint is important, it’s also worth considering how to minimise any risks that the changing climate might introduce.
We have put together guidance on managing the risk of some of the changes you may be considering to meet your carbon net zero goals. From how you manage the present-day challenges to looking to the future, we have plenty of guidance to support you on your journey.
So, where should you start?
Start with our Made Simple Guide – a handy reference guide covering a range of topics, from reducing energy consumption to links to further support you and your church.
We have developed this guidance with parish churches in mind.
