An important and useful thread for those committed to climate justice & who know that the window for action is closing rapidly. Thank you @SarahLynnBurch

[Laura Anderson (Young) @LessWasteLaura]

Honoured to have won the @uniofedinburgh ‘Being Edinburgh’ alumni award 2022 🥇

Thank you for recognising the climate work I’ve been involved in over the past couple of years since graduating, but this award goes to the community of people behind me!🌍

[Martin Johnstone @MartinAtTheEdge]

The contribution of the @hlcchampions in #Glasgow was, for me, one of the real highlights of @COP26. They opened my eyes to what is possible in the struggle for #climatejustice. Their contribution as we move towards #COP27 will be vital.

Congratulations to Bishop Nolan from everyone at SCIAF on his appointment to the role of Archbishop of Glasgow. We pray for him in his new role. (1/3) @ArchdiocGlasgow

If churches wonder why young people aren't always so interested in joining--maybe not investing in Exxon would be a good start.

[Martin Johnstone @MartinAtTheEdge]

Well said. 👇🏼

[Green Anglicans @Greenanglicans]

A wonderful message from Erasto Richards from Diocese of Kampala, Uganda @RenewOurWorld_ @capahq @dzniringiye @AngliAlliance @Cop26Group @WeAreTearfund @TearfundAct @USPGglobal @WCCclimate

[SCIAF 🧡 @sciaf]

It's time to take action for our sisters and brothers feeling the worst effects of #ClimateChange.

[Stop Climate Chaos Scotland @sccscot]

Our Chair, @tom_ballantine, wrote in @TheScotsman today to comment on @thecccuk report on Scotland’s progress in reducing emissions, and how well the @scotgov Scottish Budget for 2022-23 addresses issues related to #ClimateChange⬇️

This is glorious. Without falling into the trap of celebrity - which Rachel rightly challenges - here is a bunch of flawed (because we all are) saints & prophets from whom I have learned so much. https://t.co/2yXF6Vdnvl

'Detail lacking' in Scotland's climate change plan - BBC News https://t.co/lNV5NOdqH4

[Martin Johnstone @MartinAtTheEdge]

The detail matters. Climate change will not be tackled simply by lofty ambition, not matter how impressive that might be.
It requires measurable, practical delivery - that's the really tough bit. #climatechange #Scotland

[Glasgow Churches COP Group - Martin Johnstone @Cop26Group]

So, quite simply, some of the most inspiring people - and certainly one of the most inspiring communities - in the UK today.

[Young Christian Climate Network @YCCNetwork]

We are together!!!!! 😍

“The great advantage of the 21st century should be that we can learn from having lived through the failures of the 20th.” (@billmckibben) #Falter

“The government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” (Ronald Reagan)

Few, I hope, would be saying that now. We now know the importance of governments.
