wfn.org | WACC Calls for Religion Emphasis for Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

[Worldwide Faith News <wfn@igc.org>]

The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) is calling 
on religious leaders and communicators to emphasize the need for 
urgent and radical action on climate change in the run-up to the 
international Climate Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, 6-18 December 2009.

Climate change, caused by human activity, is threatening the lives 
and livelihoods of billions of people and the existence of millions 
of species. WACC believes that tackling climate change is a matter of 
social justice.

In response to the increasing concern on 'Climate Justice', WACC has 
initiated a new section on its website containing  resources and 
articles intended to communicate environmental concerns, share 
knowledge, and advocate action. The new section is available 
at:  http://www.waccglobal.org/en/activities/climate-justice.html
