The Australian Religious Response to Climate Change is holding an inaugural Eco-Awards Dinner on 5th June 2010, World Environment Day, to formally recognise and promote environmental achievements within faith communities.
The ARRCC is a multi-faith network of people from various parts of Australia, established in November 2008, with the purpose to help galvanise religious responses to climate change. Its principal activities are raising awareness about climate change in faith communities and empowering practical action. Energised by spirituality, the ARRCC network has a sense of responsibility to care for the Earth and to serve the vulnerable. This focus includes both being agents of change in faith communities and bringing faith-based perspectives to the broader climate movement.
Your support for this Eco-Awards Dinner will contribute to the recognition of achievements and the encouragement of others to take up the challenge of climate change. The dinner will be formal in nature and include attendees of many Australian faiths including Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish and Christian. This event is an opportunity for faiths to celebrate diversity of our contributions on these pressing issues that affect every person on Earth.
