Climate change, although something which will affect us all, is a deeply racialised phenomenon.
As highlighted in Christian Aid’s landmark Black Lives Matter Everywhere report, black and brown people in Africa, the Caribbean, India and other parts of the global south are facing the brunt of the impacts.
In the UK, 50% of black Christians think that the environmental movement isn't racially diverse enough, and are keen for their churches to stand up for justice.
We brought together a group of senior church leaders and climate activists from black majority churches and co-developed a range of resources.
These resources provide insights into the distinctive contributions of diverse voices on climate justice. We hope they will inspire equip black Christians to take action on climate justice.
In this short film people from underrepresented communities reflect on climate and racial injustice and how they can be united in protest.

Our survival is at stake, it should be amongst the most urgent theological issues for our action and meditation. Inaction could result in a life or death situation for our brothers and sisters suffering in our home countries and indeed other areas in the global South.
In Nigerian Igbo language, God is called Chineke meaning 'God of creation; God the creator.' There is an inclination that the earth belongs to the Lord and we must be good stewards of our creator’s land as also stated in Psalm 24.
