World Council of Churches (WCC) Podcast:
Faith communities bring moral voice to COP30 as climate ambition falls short
In the latest World Council of Churches (WCC) podcast, recorded just weeks after COP30 concluded in Belém, Brazil, Athena Peralta, director of the WCC Commission on Climate Justice and Sustainable Development, reflects on the conference’s mixed outcomes. While COP30 delivered real progress on adaptation finance and just transition mechanisms, it fell disappointingly short on fossil-fuel phase-out. In conversation with WCC communications, Peralta shares what faith communities achieved at the UN climate conference, where governments failed to meet the urgency of the moment, and how churches can engage in the newly launched Ecumenical Decade of Climate Justice Action.
