Christian Climate Action is a grass-roots movement, and so our members are free to take action on whatever climate issue they feel called to. However, there are some current issues, listed below, that CCA members have formed working groups around. If you are passionate about one of the areas below, we would love you to join a working group.

Stop Crucifying Creation

In September 2025 CCA launched Stop Crucifying Creation. We are calling for radical church within the Church of England to protect creation in the face of climate breakdown. The document is being sent to hundreds of people within the Church of England.

Stop Crucifying Creation calls on the church to:

• Find its courage, so that it can speak out prophetically and persistently about climate change and start taking radical nonviolent action following the example of Jesus, to protect life on earth.
• Cease doing harm to the planet through its own activities and expose the vested interests that fuel the climate and nature crisis.
• Return to its roots of prayer, confession and building loving community as we face climate breakdown.

We launched the document which actions at cathedrals around England and Wales.

STOP ROSEBANK

Our red banners calling on the government to ‘Stop Rosebank’ have been everywhere, including on the telly. Rosebank is the largest undeveloped oil field in the UK. It could give rise to 200 million tonnes of additional CO2 emissions if the oil is extracted. After persistent protest and a legal challenge, the developers were forced to resubmit their application for permission to develop Rosebank. The government will likely make a decision on their new application by the end of 2025. CCA is continuing to vigil outside government buildings and put pressure on government to refuse permission.

Ethical Banking

If we want to stop climate breakdown, we need to stop the banks that are financing it. Most of CCA’s work in this area so far has been targeting Barclays, because Barclays is the biggest funder of fossil fuels in Europe since 2016. At the start of 2024, the bank released its new energy policy, and sadly it falls woefully short of what it needs to be.

Many Christian Climate Action groups are taking action against Barclays, both directly and also by encouraging organisations that bank with Barclays to drop them. For example, we have been holding vigils outside of charities and dioceses that bank with Barclays. There have been many campaign wins from these campaign so far, with Christian Aid, Oxfam, Greenbelt Festival and Sheffield Cathedral taking steps to drop Barclays.

Insurance Companies

Insurance is crucial to the functioning of the global fossil fuel industry, covering operations against financial losses when things go wrong. Without insurance, major oil and gas projects like the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) or the West Cumbria coal mine cannot go ahead.

The pressure is on for insurers and we want to keep it there. The risk of mounting claims for ecocidal projects are increasing, leading insurers to pull out. Rising costs were the main factor in ending the UK’s Cambo and Canada’s Bay du Nord (Equinor) projects.

We have already seen Probitas confirmed it has moved away from insuring a huge Adani coal mining project in Australia, and the pressure is building on insurers to refuse to insure EACOP and the West Cumbria Mine. We need to tell insurers that we expect them to insure our future, not fossil fuel based climate collapse.

REWILD THE CHURCH

What would Jesus do if he owned 105,000 acres (60,000 football pitches) of land? Would he farm it for profit, or would he use it to restore forests, wetlands and meadows to help save our vanishing wildlife?
The Church of England owns an area of land three times the size of Birmingham. We are partnering with Wildcard for a campaign urging the Church of England to rewild 30% their land by 2030.
