It's World Peatlands Day and we're here to spread the love for our bogs ❤ Check out our guide on the importance of our peatlands in regard to climate and biodiversity and the actions we can take to protect and restore them! #WorldPeatlandsDay #PeatlandRestoration #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

I'm looking forward to speaking on one of these webinars next Mon 8th June on 'Sharing Stories to Grow Hope'. See you there?

Is it true that 90% of Church Commissioners' tenants are promoting biodiversity? Drawing on my research methods background to scrutinise some stats and push for more action to combat the nature and climate crises. My letter in the Church Times this week: www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

It's Nature Friendly Farming Week! See the events offered by @nffn.bsky.social here www.nffn.org.uk/resources/na... and check out our resources on Supporting Farmers to Reduce Emissions too www.operationnoah.org/supporting-f...

Would your church host a screening of the 'People's Emergency Briefing' film featuring leading scientific/energy experts? Operation Noah – alongside denominations & other charities – has developed a church resource pack with tips for hosting a screening. www.operationnoah.org/operation-no...

Congratulations to our friends at St Lawrence’s Church in Hungerford whose impressive tree planting has been shortlisted for the Best Community Climate & Nature Action Sheila McKechnie Award. smk.org.uk/awards_nomin... . Check out our video about their work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gz...

On LinkedIn, we like to dress up our job titles. But when it comes to nature, that professional polish is actually scientific facts. 🧪 The IPBES #PollinationAssessment found that 75% of our food crops and nearly 90% of wild flowering plants depend at least to some extent on animal pollination.

Sounds like some hopeful outcomes at Santa Marta 🙏https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/30/colombia-climate-talks-end-fossil-fuel-phaseout

🌍 Protecting people should be the first duty of any Government. At present, the UK is deeply unprepared for the increasing threat of floods, droughts, wildfires and food shortages. The cross-party CNCC will continue to urge the Government to deliver, before it's too late. 👉 thecncc.org

FACTCHECK: GB News / Spectator owner Paul Marshall got criticised by Christian leaders for his channel's attacks on climate action, so he made a rare public intervention But in his letter to the Guardian (pic) he makes 25 false, misleading or confused claims (!) Receipts etc in next post 1/2

I was delighted to join Eco-Congregation Scotland for their 25th anniversary celebration and AGM today.

Church leaders criticise Christian owner of GB News over channel’s climate attacks - Sir Paul Marshall also challenged over his own ‘misleading’ statements & £1.8bn fossil fuel investments in his hedge fund #climatecrisis @operationnoah.bsky.social Story by me www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

The first-ever Land Use Framework for England has been published. I think it is the most far-sighted plan for England's land since the Second World War. Here's my thoughts on what it does (& doesn't) do: 1/ www.gov.uk/government/p...

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating - Fixing a leak can be simple and equivalent to closing a coal power station, making lack of action ‘maddening’, say analysts #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The RSPB has rewetted 296 acres of peatland, creating a habitat for threatened species that will also store carbon. The rewetted site is part of 'The Fens' – a boggy area covering parts of four counties, much of which has been drained over the centuries for farmland. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you Bishop Graham Usher for calling for the Government to stage a prime-time televised emergency briefing on the threats posed to the UK by climate change and nature loss. @churchofengland.org www.dioceseofnorwich.org/call-for-nat... #NEB2025 #TimeToStepUp

We attended February’s Church of England General Synod, particularly supporting the 'Caring for Creation' fringe event featuring guest speakers Chris Packham and Deborah Meaden, with arguments for why the Church should protect 30% of its land for nature by 2030. www.operationnoah.org/general-syno...

🌳 Why is a tree planted over the next 5 years worth multiple trees planted later that that, interms of carbon removal? 📆 Trees planted in the next 5 years will deliver the majority of carbon removal from new woodland between now and 2050. Delays in planting mean long-term consequences.

St Lawrence’s Church has been inspiring hope in the face of the climate crisis by planting thousands of trees in their community. We recently filmed them as they planted trees at Little Hidden Farm in Berkshire. Could your church partner with local landowners to plant trees? youtu.be/g4gz0O8DNDg?...

"We're planting for the future, the church is for the future..." Be inspired by this great film from our friends at Operation Noah featuring St Lawrence's Church, Hungerford, who have planted more than 8300 trees with their community 🌳 youtu.be/g4gz0O8DNDg #ClimateJustice

We're celebrating the culmination of our Bright Now Campaign with this short video - it's a great story of how a small charity and our supporters helped put billions of pounds off limits to fossil fuels companies. Watch and be inspired to support our work!

Operation Noah is pleased to announce that the Diocese of Chichester has divested from BP & Shell & no longer holds any investments in fossil fuel companies. Chichester was the final Church of England diocese to divest: all 42 CofE dioceses are now fossil free. www.operationnoah.org/diocese-of-c...
