As we see the effects of climate change unfold across our world, it’s clear that we need to act.
Our partners are already on the frontlines, battling poverty and working to help protect communities from the impacts of climate change.
We know that even relatively small investments can create big change for people who are struggling to find clean water, grow crops, protect their families from disease and respond to disaster. Lent Event is a way we can each turn our personal commitments into powerful collective action that transforms the world.

Climate change - the biggest challenge to our shared mission
UnitingWorld and our church partners see climate change as the biggest challenge to our shared mission of addressing the causes and consequences of poverty, injustice and violence.
Climate change intensifes poverty, food insecurity, confict, migration, and inequality – disproportionately affecting women, children, and those with disabilities.
It is no longer possible to deal with the cyclones, foods, fires and droughts as if they were one-off events. Extreme events are the backdrop against which all of us must live.
In 2022-23, our church partners refreshed their project designs to embed climate action and disaster resilience in each. Where they can, they are planting trees and running recycling hubs; they are stabilising landslide-prone areas; they are teaching families about composting and how to make their own natural fertilisers to improve crop yields; they are mapping evacuation centres and planning emergency responses. They're supporting people to plan and prepare for the impact of disasters, and, drawing on their faith, our partners are inspiring communities to care for creation and advocate to their leaders.
These new shifts are about equipping people and communities to be more self-reliant and able to find sustainable local solutions to the growing impacts of climate change.
We need your support to resource this vital work. Please give today.
