Climate change is an issue we all have to take on together, regardless of our faiths or backgrounds. Working with non-worship groups, therefore, can be a key part of fighting the climate crisis. Many places of worship already have non worship groups who use the space, such as exercise classes, children's clubs/nurseries, knitting groups etc. Engaging these groups on climate change and the work your place of worship is doing to become more sustainable could help us reach a new audience. Even little things like encouraging parents to read the noticeboard whilst they are waiting to pick up their children, or handing out eco tips to class goers could make a real difference. Perhaps also inviting people along to other activities your place of worship runs, that aren't necessarily centred around worship, such as gardening, can be a good way to engage with the local non-worship community on climate change.

The Net-Zero​ in My Neighbourhood initiative, ran by the Joint Public Issues Team, a Christian organisation, has some great practical advice on working with the local council and other local non-worship groups to help tackle climate change. They have a page detailing why councils are important, and how they are structured here, as well as advice on how to work with them as a worship group here.
