One of the UK’s first faith-based climate charities, Operation Noah was established in 2004 as a Christian response to the climate crisis.
And over the past twenty years, we have become known as a small charity that makes a big impact – not only in the UK, but around the world.
From our environmentally-themed Bible study Tenants of the King, to the creation of the Climate Sunday service, to getting nearly every UK denomination to divest from fossil fuels, Operation Noah has engaged with thousands of Christians on the climate and nature crises,
built coalitions to lobby the government, and moved millions of pounds out of oil, gas and coal.
We continue to draw inspiration from our Christian faith while simultaneously being informed by the latest scientific research. Our work has also expanded in recent years: in addition to divestment and education, we are now encouraging Churches to scale up investment in climate solutions alongside implementing better land-use practices, such as peat restoration and tree growing – particularly in the Church of England, one of the largest land-owners in the UK.
Operation Noah is also completely ecumenical. Throughout our history, Operation Noah Staff and Trustees have included Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists and members of other Christian denominations. Together, we aim to speak with a unified Christian voice on the most urgent scientific, political and theological issue of our time – the environmental crisis. Our goal is to inspire the Church and world to take bolder action to protect the people and planet God loves.
