  Faith for the Climate\n\nRegister for the workshop\n\nIt can be frustrati
 ng and confusing for many people to make sense of the urgency of the clima
 te crisis alongside the bureaucratic inertia and power struggles between n
 ational governments about the issue. Negative outcomes from landmark UN co
 nferences about climate change - for example\, in Madrid 2019 and Copenhag
 en 2010 - can be disheartening. Even the promise of the watershed Paris Ag
 reement is now being met with increasing doubt and disillusionment. Will w
 e ever achieve global impact on climate action?\n\nThis joint webinar betw
 een Faith for the Climate and Footsteps: Faiths for a Low Carbon Future ad
 dresses this question at an important and interesting time. Monday\, 9 Nov
 ember\, marks what would have been the start of the 26th United Nations Co
 nference of Parties (COP) on Climate Change in Glasgow\, Scotland. It is a
 lso the beginning of Inter Faith Week across the UK (8-15 November). This 
 webinar therefore explores the crucial role that grassroots communities\, 
 especially faith groups\, can play in pushing for more effective and ambit
 ious climate action. Our speakers will highlight the possibilities that th
 e postponed COP26 offers to local and regional climate actions in Birmingh
 am. They will also look at what we can all learn from the efforts of Birmi
 ngham residents to contribute to climate justice - locally\, nationally an
 d globally.\n\nRegister for the workshop\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;
