Christian Climate Action

Christian Climate Action is a prayerful community of Christians supporting each other to take meaningful action in the face of imminent and catastrophic anthropogenic climate breakdown. We are inspired by Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit. Following the example of social justice movements of the past, we carry out acts of public witness, nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to urge those in power to make the changes needed.

Many Christian Climate Action groups are taking action against Barclays, both directly and also by encouraging organisations that bank with Barclays to drop them. For example, we have been holding vigils outside of charities and dioceses that bank with Barclays. There have been many campaign wins from these campaign so far, with Christian Aid, Oxfam, Greenbelt Festival and Sheffield Cathedral taking steps to drop Barclays.
