In 2022, GreenFaith organized the global campaign “Faith for Climate Justice” and received support from more than 118 religious organizations that carried out actions in their territories to raise awareness and demand action to address the climate emergency we are experiencing.

More than 500 actions were registered in 49 countries between October 2nd and November 6th, amplifying the voices of people of different spiritualities demanding effective action from governments and large corporations on climate change.

In Brazil, in partnership with the “Faith in the Climate” initiative of the Institute of Religious Studies and other organizations, we carried out actions in three different cities in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Recife (PE), and the Anã Community (PA). These actions joined 500 other actions around the world that mobilized people of faith for climate justice.

In the Anã community, for example, we brought Sunday Mass to the community center and held a reflection activity on how the region is affected by the climate emergency. Afterwards, we created messages of faith and demands together for a walk to the Church that brought the community together for this symbolic act on the banks of the Arapiuns River, in the state of Pará.
