Climate change is affecting people around the world, and without urgent global action, the impacts are expected to accelerate rapidly. Archbishop Justin Welby has commented that ‘reducing the causes of climate change is essential to the life of faith.'
At St Georges’ we have formally recognised the climate emergency. We are on a journey learning more about this, and taking action as a church and as individuals. Ewan Jones is our Environment Officer, please get in touch with any ideas, questions, or if you would like to get more involved.

Climate Stewards Training
In 2020-2021 we had a series of training and discussion events via Zoom covering diverse aspects of climate justice from Food to Theology and Home Energy use to Climate Grief and Anxiety. These sessions can all be watched on our Youtube channel. If you would like to access slides, notes and further resources connected with any of these training sessions, or if you would like help calculating your carbon footprint, please contact Ewan Jones.
St George’s veggie cookbook
As part of our commitment to respond to the climate emergency, some church members have put together a helpful Veggie cookbook to encourage us in eating less meat as part of reducing our carbon footprint.
