Justice in a Changing Climate

On May 20, 2007, at the semi-annual Congregational Meeting, the primary topic of discussion was a proposed initiative on Global Climate Change. The proposal was introduced by Gary Smith, Tom Young and Grady McCallie who presented a slide show on the subject to those present. The proposal was unanimously accepted.

Justice in a Changing Climate

  • Global warming is real and will be a disaster for everyone, rich and poor.
  • We desire to learn about climate change and to better understand its potential impacts.
  • We desire to act to slow climate change and decrease its negative impacts on all humans.
  • We desire to share the journey with other congregations.

Why CUCC and Why Now?

  • We see climate change and the environmental and human suffering it causes.
  • We see that this change will likely have its largest impact on the poor.
  • We see that environmental issues can divide rich and poor, and climate change solutions can overlook the impact on the poor.
  • We see an increasing need for creative conservation and creative leadership to find solutions that work for the earth and all humans, rich and poor.
  • We see CUCC’s long history of social justice leadership.
  • We see that CUCC has a critical mass of leaders, interest in environmental protection and financial resources to support the work.
