Last Word: Climate crossroads

Notes: "For me the standout moment [of 2015] will be the final agreement reached at COP 21 in Paris in early December. This moment could indeed turn out to be life changing. Not just for me but for the whole world". "The final outcomes look very good on paper. A desire to significantly lower increasing temperatures and a commitment to support those most vulnerable to the changing climate, however like such agreements it can be a long way from paper to action. That's why we stand at the crossroads of another New Year right across the Communion we need too continue to ask those in authority to fulfil the covenant that they have made. The pilgrimage continues as we seek to steward the earth. Perhaps we could all walk a little more and use the extra time to keep asking God to give us the vision and courage we need to keep lifting up the voices on the margins".
