Engage & Strengthen Communities
Your house of worship and faith community are likely a tent pole in your local community. As climate impacts expand and increase, leading your community in climate action and building climate resilience will become increasingly important.
Below are tools and resources to go beyond your congregational walls to connect and collaborate with other congregations of many faiths, local organizations, and agencies for collective impact.
Getting Started
Climate impacts range from heat, fire, and drought to ice, severe storms, and flooding, depending on where you live. Below is a sample plan of simple actions to start building climate resilience in your community. See a full list of actions below.
-
Lead visibly on climate in your local community. Hang your banner in front of your house of worship, add the One Home One Future logo to your website, and post creation care actions on social media.
-
Invite or Nominate other congregations to join you in this work. We go further together. Find ways to collaborate and lead together in your community.
-
Organize an environmental initiative in your community. Become a host for the 2026 National Faith + Climate Forum or host a Group for Climate Ambassador Training. Create spaces and opportunities to talk about creation care by hosting a program, tabling at a community event, or speaking at happenings beyond the walls of your house of worship.
-
Celebrate creation care successes with the wider community through local news media, social media and more.
