"Loss and damage" is a term used by the United Nations to refer to the impacts of climate change that aren’t possible to adapt to.
At last year’s UN climate talks in Glasgow (COP26) Quaker work helped to push loss and damage up the agenda.
Thursday 22 September is Loss and Damage Action Day – an international day to stand in solidarity with those living with the worst impacts of climate breakdown, and to call on rich countries and big polluters to pay up for the loss and damage they continue to knowingly cause. It follows the International Day of Peace on 21 September.
We invite you to join Quakers and other faith communities in prayer, reflection and action to mark the day.
If you're planning an action locally, please tell us about it by emailing:
