Net Zero and Church Buildings
In February 2020 General Synod passed a motion committing the Church of England to reach net zero carbon by 2030, bringing forward it's proposed target date by 15 years. To achieve this target it is clear that every church building, school and other church property will need to play its part, and as Archbishop Justin Welby clearly explains, "Reducing the causes of climate change is essential to the life of faith. It is a way to love our neighbour and to steward the gift of creation.".
