Transitioning away from fossil fuels: creating space for those willing to move first
Last week, 57 countries and more than 2,000 organisations met in Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss how to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. This First International Conference to Transition Away from Fossil Fuels was more than a diplomatic gathering: it signalled emerging political space for actors willing to move this agenda forward. It was a space of cautious hope.

Santa Marta and the great transition away from fossil fuels
The Santa Marta conference opens in Colombia on Friday 24 April. I was glad when it was announced at the end of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, last November, as a way for countries that are serious about getting off fossil fuels quickly and fairly to plan how to do it together – without getting bogged down at COP with the likes of Russia and Saudi Arabia. It'll report back to COP but offers a faster path.

Sunday 14 June is Tax Justice Sunday: a day when Christians are encouraged to come together to reflect on the role of tax in society, and to speak out for a fairer tax system. This year it comes as many in the churches and in wider society are calling for tax reform to be part of how we build back better from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Reparations reflections: truth and reconciliation
In this series of posts, we share the readings, and reflections, from the opening worship of regular meetings of the Reparations Working Group. This group of British Quakers has been appointed to take forward the commitment minuted by Britain Yearly Meeting in 2022 to consider financial and other reparations for the role of Quakers in the transatlantic chattel slave trade. You can find out more about this decision, and the actions which have flowed from it, on our reparations page.

Why does taking action for just peace in Palestine and Israel support our work for climate justice?
On 19 June this year, the UK Government tabled a bill that infringes on our right to use boycott and divestment as peaceful means of protest. The 'Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill' (or 'Anti-boycott bill') aims to prevent public bodies (such as local authorities, universities, some pension funds and other public institutions like the National Health Service) from making financial decisions based on ethical choices.

Will COP27 deliver a loss and damage fund?
The next chapter in the struggle for loss and damage finance is about to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of campaigners and Global South countries, the issue is on the provisional agenda for COP27. This still has to be agreed by parties at the beginning of the summit, but there appears to be little appetite for a long argument over the agenda.

Solidarity, friendship and faith in climate justice
'Solidarity' is a term that is often used in conversations around climate and social justice. We send our solidarity to those suffering on the climate frontline in the Global South, to those who are displaced by extreme weather events and to those protesting fossil fuels projects that will devastate their local environment.
