Climate
Change cherishing
creation in a changing world
Climate Change
is the most challenging environmental
issue of our time.
Climate Change is also a human rights, economic, cultural and
social issue that will profoundly affect the way we live our
lives as a human community.
"If we are to meet and
overcome the challenge we must think
creatively about the organisation of our social and
economic institutions, our relationship with each other across
national and cultural boundaries and our relationship with
the environment." - For the
Sake of the Planet and All Its People, Statement of the
Assembly Standing Committee, 2006
This page has been set up to provide a storehouse
