On 22 April, Earth Day celebrates its 50th
anniversary with a focus on Climate Action.
Climate
change represents the biggest challenge to the future of humanity and the
eco-systems which make our world habitable. Unless every country in the world
steps up with urgency and ambition, the future of our descendants will be
dangerous.
Earth Day 2020 is an important opportunity for people
from around the world to unite in creativity, innovation, ambition, and
bravery, in order to meet our climate crisis and seize the opportunities of
working towards a zero-carbon future.

Please pray for the
continued worldwide determination and creativity in tackling climate change, in
order to meet our responsibility as stewards of God’s creation.
