The World Council of Churches encourages Christians globally to engage in legal actions against polluters through its climate justice handbook. This initiative emphasizes strategic litigation as a vital tool to hold polluters accountable and protect future generations from the climate crisis, rooted in Christian principles of stewardship and justice. The handbook suggests that advocacy alone is insufficient given the ongoing rise in CO2 emissions, necessitating legal measures that align with faith values to shift both policy and public discourse towards a more sustainable future.
Climate litigation has grown dramatically, targeting organizations that fund fossil fuels, aiming to change corporate behavior and public discourse.
The World Council of Churches argues that legal frameworks align with Christian values, advocating for stewardship of the planet.
