Stories from Green Agents of Change

Stories from our Green Agents of Change

Grace, aged 10, writes regular articles for her church newsletter about being a Green Agent of Change, including this piece on going net zero and this great article, written after attending one of the Climate Justice for All Have Your Say events. When Grace was aged 8, she also attended the Green Agents of Change Catalyst session for 8 - 11 year olds in August 2020. Read the article she wrote about this here.

Why not consider submitting your own article about climate justice to your church magazine, newsletter or website? 

Grace, along with her mum and little brother, recently walked part of the Young Christian Climate Network's relay to COP26 (an important meeting of world leaders taking place in Glasgow this year to discuss the climate crisis). The relay has been organised by YCCN to raise awareness of climate change and to show that Christians care.  Youth President Phoebe has also walked some of the relay and, in a short video, she talks to Grace about the relay and the other things that Grace is doing to try and make a difference.

Jamie, aged 14, is one of our Green Agents of Change and, along with his parents Debbie and David, is now a published author! Changing the Climate was published by the Bible Reading Fellowship in June 2021.

Using a series of Bible passages the book shows how the Christian faith is relevant to environmental action and justice and how we can all play our part in limiting the negative effects of climate change. Jamie himself has provided tips about actions we can take, which appear at the end of each chapter.

Youth President Phoebe met with Jamie to chat about the book and the work he and his family do for climate justice watch the video (7 minutes) here:
