This year we have a specific day to focus on the ecumenical common call to action on advocacy. It will be a day of action to endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FFNPT).The 79th Session of the UN General Assembly will be taking place from 10 - 24 September and it is within this context that we Christians, as a global family, will raise our voices and show how faith communities can be powerful actors for justice and hope across the world.For more information, refer to the previous section of the guide on “Advocacy: Participate in campaigns to reduce fossil fuel use”, or to the Advocacy section in the resources page of SeasonOfCreation.org.
