Prayers for Leaders

Every single country is impacted by climate change – from our neighbors in the Pacific Islands at risk of losing their homes to rising sea levels; to our neighbors in Australia evacuated because of bushfires; to our neighbors in Africa trying to cope with Cyclone Idai and droughts in sub-Saharan Africa; to our neighbors in BC and Alberta who have faced record wildfires.
- Pray for meaningful, well-paid work in renewable energy, clean technology, and energy-efficient technologies so that everyone can have work that gives dignity, and for those workers who would need to transition out of oil and gas industries.
