About the Event
For decades, the world has heard the climate story—warnings, targets, distant deadlines. Too often, the response has been clouded by noise: delay, distraction, denial.
World Environment Day 2026 focuses on climate change—on the urgent signals the Earth is sending and the signals we choose to send back. It calls on all of us to come together, step in and steer a world already in motion. It calls on governments, cities, businesses, and people everywhere to see the signals—and move together.
Positive tipping points are taking place (solar panels stretch across rooftops; wind turbines line the horizon; cities redesigned for people; forests are being replanted) but they are still fragile and it’s all our responsibility to nurture and grow these initiatives.
Come - spend a time of prayer and contemplation, poetry and music
