As fossil fuel companies report record profits while underinvesting in renewables and exploring for new oil and gas, UK Christians are calling on Church of England (CofE) and Catholic dioceses yet to make a divestment commitment to divest this Lent. Written prayers, video messages, and facts about the devastating impacts of fossil fuels will be shared as part of the campaign. Christians will also be invited to write to their bishop, get their local church to divest, and reach out to diocesan financial decision makers to discuss divestment.
At the start of 2023, 40 dioceses across England and Wales had yet to make a commitment to divest from fossil fuels. This Lent, Operation Noah, through our websites and social media channels, will highlight one of these dioceses on each of the 40 days of Lent and will encourage Christians to call on Church leaders to make changes.

As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and welcome in the New Year, we first wanted to look back on 2022 by compiling our Top 10 Moments. Over the past 12 months, the Church has used its voice to challenge climate injustice, its money to invest in climate solutions and its power to stop funding fossil fuels. In our final newsletter of the year, we celebrate the inspiring work of campaigners to care for creation and to mobilise the Church and society to do likewise.

The report is also relevant to other UK Churches and Christian groups, estimated to own another 0.5% of the UK’s land.
