By continuing to fund and support a fossil fuel-based energy system, the US is violating international law, a group of young people have argued to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. 'This petition is about truth and accountability,' said Levi, 18. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Global investment in renewable tech & projects reached $386bn, up 10% on the same period last year. Global energy investment is likely to hit $3.3 trillion this year: more than $1tn is likely to fund fossil fuels, but double that will fund low-carbon energy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Operation Noah Patron Ann Pettifor – a renowned economist – has spoken out about Rosebank, a proposed North Sea oil field: 'Rosebank is an environmental disaster waiting to happen – one which will do nothing to lower energy bills or improve UK energy security.' www.operationnoah.org/lets-stop-ro...

How can our money help tackle the climate crisis and protect nature? This Season of Creation try our practical, bible-based course, Where your treasure is, to think about how we can use money to care for God's creation. Find out more and download a copy: www.operationnoah.org/where-your-t...

India’s carbon dioxide emissions from its power sector declined by 1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025 due to strong clean energy additions & lower power demand, data from a research report showed, marking only the second drop in nearly 50 years. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Our money is part of a financial system that has a hugely important role in protecting nature and tackling climate breakdown. However many UK banks are still financing fossil fuel projects. Join the big bank switch and move your money to a fossil-free bank and help protect nature.

By moving away from fossil fuels & investing in climate solutions, we can save money, create jobs & have a healthier environment, but investing in planet-heating oil, gas & coal is expensive: extreme weather in Europe this summer caused economic losses of €43bn. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Money has a vital role in tackling climate change and caring for creation. This Season of Creation use the "see, judge, act" framework to respond to the climate crisis. Here's how you can use our Catholic Social Teaching toolkit. www.operationnoah.org/catholic-soc...

We’re at #thewildsummituk, discussing how we can use land to protect nature & tackle the climate crisis. From planning law to investing in nature, there’s progress being made & more to be done. We’re encouraging Churches to manage land for climate & nature & achieve net zero land emissions by 2030.

A University of Leeds farm is taking part in a project to test ways of reducing agricultural emissions. The site between Leeds & York – one of 10 across Europe taking part in the Climate Smart Research project – hopes to cut its carbon footprint by 55% over 5 years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good news for peat, wildlife and communities as the UK government has announced it will extend the ban on burning vegetation on deep peat. Protecting peat is vital as it is a significant carbon sink. Read more about the ban here: www.gov.uk/government/n...

This summer is almost certain to be the warmest on record for the UK, with the mean temperature at 16.13C – significantly above the current record of 15.76C set in 2018. All five of the UK's warmest summers have occurred since 2000. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The loss of nature will have a huge impact on our economy, but "investing in nature can produce economic returns for companies in a range of sectors" It's why we are calling on the church to invest more in nature and support nature-friendly farming. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We've had some very determined young people playing our Greenopoly game @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social - some have even finished the game having invested in all the climate solutions and gaining a good heap of money. Climate solutions for the win!

Plastic production has increased by more than 200x since 1950. Nearly all plastics are made from fossil oil, gas & coal which drives the climate crisis by releasing the equivalent of 2bn tonnes of CO2 a year – more than the emissions of Russia. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'The hot weather has taken people by surprise in a part of the continent better adapted to the cold. Researchers have found that countries such as the UK, Norway & Switzerland will face the greatest relative rise in uncomfortably hot days as the planet heats up' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Most gov't's have failed to act on the 2023 UN pledge to triple the world’s renewable energy capacity by 2030. A report by think-tank Ember found that only 22 countries have increased their renewable energy ambitions since 130+ signed the COP28 renewables pact. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We applaud NatWest for doubling the amount of money it will dedicate to helping clients meet climate goals & for remaining in the Net Zero Banking Alliance. Yet NatWest continues to fund fossil fuels. Now is the time for NatWest to stop funding climate breakdown. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

A landmark decision has cleared the way for countries to sue each other over climate change, including over historic emissions. But the ICJ said untangling who caused which part of climate change could be difficult. The ruling could have wide-ranging consequences. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As the dust settles on the #ActNowChangeForever Mass Lobby last week, we've been reflecting on an historic day that brought people from across the UK to Westminster to have meaningful conversations with their MPs about the climate & nature crisis. www.operationnoah.org/mass-lobby-a...

The UK is breaking heat & rainfall records increasingly frequently as its climate continues to warm, the Met Office has warned. The country's changing weather patterns mean the UK now experiences a notably different climate to what it was just a few decades ago. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

After dropping a 2030 emissions-reduction target in February, HSBC has now left the banking industry's climate coalition. Operation Noah & our partners are encouraging Christians to switch from banks that fund planet-heating fossil fuels to ones that don't. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

We had a great day at the #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby. If you weren’t able to join us - or if you were, but were unable to meet your MP - help us to continue to push our politicians to take stronger action on climate & nature. Learn more about our campaigns on our website: operationnoah.org
