People all over the planet are already experiencing the effects of the climate emergency, from more frequent and severe storms and floods to historic droughts and food crises.  

These changes are hitting hardest the communities that have contributed the least to causing the crisis. 

We need leaders to act

Our CAFOD family has a long history of calling for protection for our common home.

We are calling on world leaders to:

  • Fix our food system and its connections to the climate crisis.

  • Finance the fight against the climate crisis.

  • Stop supporting the fossil fuels that are driving the climate crisis.
