As a global fellowship representing over 580 million people in more than 120 countries, WCC has a long-standing commitment to justice, peace, and care for creation. The Climate Litigation Project seeks to leverage this extensive network to hold financial institutions accountable for their responsibility in the climate emergency and to advocate for sustainable and ethical financial practices. Our initiative is rooted in the belief that faith communities have a unique and powerful role to play in promoting intergenerational climate justice and ensuring a sustainable future for all.
The vision: We envision a world where financial institutions are stewards of creation, making climate-responsible decisions that prioritize the health of our planet and its inhabitants. By advocating for legal and systemic changes, we aim to stop the expansion of fossil fuels and promote a transition to sustainable, renewable energy sources.
