Footsteps works on six key themes, plus an annual focus theme
Faith & Values
The world’s major faith traditions share values that underpin their action on climate change.
Community
Footsteps provides spaces where people can share faith perspectives on the environment and take ideas back into their own communities and places of worship.
Earth Care
Many faith traditions share the belief that we have a collective responsibility to care for the earth and its people.
Encouragement
Footsteps provides encouragement to those directly involved at place of worship, faith community and city level.
Climate Emergency
Across the world, leaders of both faith communities and cities recognise that we face a crisis and are speaking out.
Young People
Footsteps endeavours to involve young people in its work and activities, not least because young people will be the generation most affected by, but which has done least to cause, climate change.
GrassRoutes
Our Eco-Action Projects will build the capacity of faith groups to lead, advocate for and engage in, community-led climate action in Birmingham.
Saving Energy
Helping Birmingham’s faith communities move to a low carbon future in practical and locally based ways are important areas of Footsteps’ ongoing work.
Shared Stewardship
The Shared Stewardship Collective is a new network for young people (aged 18–35) to explore how faith, communities, and environmental action can work together for a more sustainable future.
