As climate change continues to wreak havoc worldwide—from severe droughts in Southern Africa to unprecedented floods in Central Europe—the Jesuit European Social Centre (JESC) has announced a comprehensive campaign ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The campaign, which already started and runs until the end of the COP event on 22 November, marks an expanded collaboration of JESC with established partners Jesuit Missions (UK) and the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice (Ireland), now joined by African partners Jesuit Missions (UK) and the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice (Ireland), now joined by African partners: the Jesuit Centre for Ecology and Development (Malawi) and Centre Arrupe (Madagascar). These new additions bring crucial first-hand experience of climate change impacts on vulnerable communities. The campaign features three key initiatives:

• A resource-rich campaign webpage including a COP29 Guide and a Prayer Guide,
• Daily bulletins during the conference providing analysis of negotiations and side events, with registration being done on the campaign page,
• Also on the campaign page, a direct-action platform enabling citizens to petition their governments.
