Climate Solutions for Congregations
“Climate Solutions for Congregations: Bridging Spiritual Wisdom and Environmental Stewardship” is an inspiring event designed to expand outreach, emphasize the Climate Action Plan, and harness the power of community within our interfaith network. The event will include a compelling awards ceremony, a panel discussion on lessons learned, and a keynote address focused on “Bringing the Climate Plan to Life.” Participants will have the chance to engage in tabling sessions, foster internal community connections, and enjoy delicious food, all within an inclusive and informative setting.

Our objective is to engage voices from over 750 congregations in Montgomery County, encouraging them to actively participate in climate action. Attendees will gain insights into five critical areas where the County is advancing climate-smart programs and funding opportunities, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By equipping faith leaders with essential resources and knowledge, we aspire to empower them to inspire their congregations to take meaningful climate action both at home and within their communities. This event also offers a unique platform for faith leaders from diverse backgrounds to exchange best practices and forge lasting relationships, reinforcing the sense of belonging vital for sustainable change.
