Many creation care resources are available online. In addition to those discussed below, please see the environmental links on our Justice, Peace & Creation Care Links page.
United Nations Human Development Report 2007-08
An excerpt from the UN report Fighting Climate Change: Human solidarity in a divided world:
"Climate change is the defining human development challenge of the 21st Century. Failure to respond to that challenge will stall and then reverse international efforts to reduce poverty. The poorest countries and most vulnerable citizens will suffer the earliest and most damaging setbacks, even though they have contributed least to the problem. Looking to the future, no country - however wealthy or powerful - will be immune to the impact of global warming."
Eco-Congregation Scotland
Many Christians are concerned about the environment but don't know what they can do. Eco-Congregation Scotland is an ecumenical programme to help congregations understand environmental issues and make appropriate practical and spiritual responses. The programme's material is to be enhanced this year to incorporate modules on how to begin to respond to some of the most critical issues behind climate change.
Please see Eco-Congregation News for the organisation's latest newsletters and other resources.
Justice, Diakonia and Responsibility for Creation

Stop Climate Change Chaos Scotland
Stop Climate Change Chaos Scotland believes that civil society organisations - environment and development groups, faith groups, humanitarian organisations, women’s groups, trade unions and many others - are in a unique position to mobilise public concern, and through this the necessary political action, to stop climate chaos. By working together in a diverse, broad-based coalition it believes we can deliver results that none of us can achieve alone. Nothing on this scale has been attempted before on climate change, but anything less is unlikely to be successful.
