Hope for Creation is a global day of prayer and action for churches and individual Christians on the issue of climate change and is being organised to take place on Sunday 6 November 2011.

Organised by a group of Micah Network members, the purpose of the day is to unite and focus church action and prayer on this critical issue, with a focus on its devastating impacts on the poorest and most vulnerable people.

It takes place a few weeks before the next round of UN climate talks begin in South Africa, and follows on from the commitment those at the Limuru Consultation on Climate Change in 2009 (where I represented TEAR Fund NZ) made to 'intercede before God for those most affected by environmental degradation and climate change, and will act with justice and mercy among, with and on behalf of them'.

Partner with us in Hope for Creation here in New Zealand and:
• Commit to mobilise churches and individual Christians to pray about climate change and its impacts on Sunday 6th November.
• Encourage churches and Christians to take action to tackle climate change by signing a campaign action or taking part in a symbolic activity.
• Join us to urge world leaders to take ambitious and fair action to tackle climate change and provide the finance needed to help poor communities to adapt and develop sustainably.
