Faith groups represented at the Cop27 climate change conference have been reflecting on its outcome and the work left to be done. A Religion Media Centre briefing heard that the agreement to provide a loss and damage fund was a matter of justice for the developing world and welcomed especially by young activists. But the failure to take action on phasing out coal, or reducing emissions to achieve the 1.5C limit was disappointing and the constant cajoling to comply was frustratingly repetitive. Ruth Peacock hosted the discussion with:
- Omar Shaikh, managing director of the Global Finance initiative
- James Buchanan, from Operation Noah
- Alex Kirby, journalist and co-founder of the Climate News Network
- Chris Manktelow, of the Young Christian Climate Network
- Bino Makhalanyane, youth co-ordinator of Green Anglicans South Africa
