Australian Religious Response to Climate Change

ARRCC is a multi-faith, member-based organisation of people from around Australia who are committed to taking action on climate change. We bring together representatives from all the major faith traditions to work together in addressing climate change.

We recognise that climate change is not only a scientific, environmental, economic and political issue – it is also a profoundly moral and spiritual one: the Earth's ecosystems are intrinsically precious and beautiful and deserve protection; the wellbeing of human beings is dependent on ecological flourishing; and it is the vulnerable people of the world who are most impacted by climate change.

We believe that as people dedicated to the common good, inspired by our beliefs and energized by our spirituality, people of all faiths can and should be at the forefront of creating a safe climate. While celebrating the uniqueness of our different traditions, we stand together in working for an ecologically and socially sustainable future.

Our vision

We envisage our nation embracing a sustainable future, one which is based on a more ethical understanding of human prosperity and the flourishing of all. To help create this, ARRCC aspires to influence religious communities of all kinds and all across Australia to actively reflect religious values in their lifestyle choices.

Our mission

ARRCC's mission is to inspire all faith communities to take practical action to help create an ecologically sustainable and just future:

  • We promote ethical, environmentally sustainable, healthy and contented lifestyles which respect the Earth's precious natural resources
  • We advocate for public policies which contribute to climate justice.
