🌏 Advocating for Climate Justice at COP29 Our Moderator Rev. Mata Havea Hiliau is representing the Uniting Church in Australia at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, alongside Uniting Climate advocates Alice Salomon and Andrew Bradley. Together, they joined the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice, marching with nations whose lands, cultures, and futures are at risk from rising seas.  Reflecting on this critical moment, the Moderator shared:   “As I learned more about climate change, I realised that it is not just our Pasifika brothers and sisters, like Tonga, Tuvalu, and Kiribati, that are bearing the brunt of global warming. Soaring energy prices and increasing cost of living pressures are bringing some of our state’s most vulnerable and financially disadvantaged people to their knees. Compounding this problem is the fact that some of NSW and the ACT’s most disadvantaged suburbs are the hottest in summer.” For decades, the Uniting Church has advocated for stronger climate action. This work continues as we strive for equity and justice for all communities impacted by the climate crisis.  Meanwhile, Australia’s Climate Change Minister, Chris Bowen, is co-chairing critical negotiations at COP29 to establish a new global climate finance goal—a pivotal step in addressing this crisis.  Join us in continuing this vital work for our planet and its people. Remember, no action is too small in the fight for climate justice🌿 #allofthsiisus #COP29 #ClimateJustice #PayUp #UnitingForChange
