In this month’s newsletter, we revisit our recent global divestment announcement in which 31 faith institutions from six countries divested from fossil fuel companies. This latest announcement represents over $2 billion in assets under management. Institutions joining the announcement include the Diocese of London, Canterbury Cathedral, the Catholic diocese of Northampton and the Carmelite religious order.
Every day throughout Lent, Operation Noah will feature one of the 40 CofE and Catholic dioceses in England and Wales that, at the beginning of 2023, had yet to make a divestment commitment. Follow our daily blog to keep up on our Lent campaign, which will include videos from campaigners, facts about the devastating impact of fossil fuels, written prayers and more.

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.
At its 2022 Conference in June, the Methodist Church of Great Britain unanimously endorsed the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, becoming the largest denomination in the UK to join the movement calling for an end to all new oil and gas exploration around the world and for a fair, just transition the supports workers and communities in the transition to renewable energy.
