The United Church of Christ in the United States and Climate Justice: The Process of Consensus Building for Climate Change Policy and Its Theological Foundations. (English)

The United Church of Christ (UCC) embraces a wide range of faith backgrounds and values among its constituent churches in the United States. Known for its commitment to social justice and environmental issues, the UCC is among the most influential mainline Protestant churches in American society. Recently, the UCC has been seeking climate justice and actively addressing climate change, advocating for urgent government action and supporting vulnerable communities that are disproportionately impacted by climate change. This paper delves into the underlying theological principles and ecclesiological practices guiding the UCC's commitment to climate change mitigation measures and its call for climate justice, offering valuable insights into the role of religion in shaping environmental policies and practices.
