EEN's work was recently featured in the 2023 "Forging Climate Solutions" report from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. This extensive report calls for a coordinated, cross-sector effort to combat climate change and features strategies and recommendations rooted in pragmatism, accountability, and compassion for those who are most vulnerable to the effects of a warming climate.
The report was developed over a two-year period by a diverse commission of leaders sharing their expertise and priorities. The resulting report recommends how corporations, frontline communities, government, and environmental groups like EEN can work together to mobilize investments, build infrastructure, reduce harmful emissions, and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
EEN’s section of the report focuses on how our ministry is effectively educating and mobilizing evangelical Christians to care for God’s creation and faithfully act on climate. You can read the full case study here.
