GREEN-minded residents are Invited to address the climate crisis with Worcester MP Tom Collins.
Worcester Cathedral is welcoming the local MP to the first of its Living Gently on the Earth events of 2025 at the end of January.
‘Addressing the Climate Crisis’ will be held in The Old Palace, Deansway, on Friday January 31 at 7pm.
The community is invited to join together to discuss important issues surrounding climate change and what they can do to make a difference. Mr Collins will be sharing his insights and ideas on tackling this global crisis, and answering questions from the floor.
The Living Gently on the Earth series launched in 2022, after the Cathedral Eco Group secured National Lottery funding. These community events aim to bring the local community together in taking climate action.
The Dean of Worcester, The Very Revd Dr Stephen Edwards, said: “We are extremely grateful to Tom Collins for taking the time out of his busy schedule to join us for this important discussion.
“Please do join us if you can and stand together for our planet.”
Mr Collins added: “The climate crisis is difficult to face – for some it is still a source of confusion and uncertainty, for others it’s a source of anxiety and alarm. Finding ways to talk about it meaningfully is key, and I’m really pleased that our Cathedral Eco Group are creating this opportunity.
“This event will be a great way for people to meet others who share their concerns, hear about the action they can take, and most importantly be brought together as a community, facing the challenge as one.”
In September 2021 the cathedral declared a climate emergency, and as part of this committed to encouraging the community to make relevant lifestyle changes and encouraging action on this emergency in our neighbourhoods, workplaces and other spheres of activity, among others.
