The Diocesan Environment Working Group has a group of Eco Champions to help promote care for the creation. Our aspiration is for at least one Eco Champion in each deanery.
Eco Champions are supported by the Diocesan Environmental Officer.
We hope our Eco Champions will be a point of contact to:
-
encourage churches to care for creation and engage with the Eco Church scheme
-
encourage sharing of good practice between churches within the deanery
-
encourage PCCs to include the environment on their meeting agendas and to plan how they might reach net zero emissions
-
help share the facts about the environmental crisis and raise awareness of learning opportunities
-
network with the Diocesan Environmental Officer and other Eco Champions in the diocese, sharing information and experience
Further background information is available through the following links
- General Synod net zero carbon motion
