  • Campaigning for climate justice

Eco-Congregation Scotland is a grounded, faith-based movement of churches, congregations, and individuals across Scotland of all denominations. Since 2001, we’ve helped congregations to live out their beliefs through environmental action — in worship, in community life, in advocacy, and through meaningful partnerships. Whether it’s campaigning for policies like deposit return systems, supporting renewable energy, reducing waste, or encouraging spiritual care for God’s creation, we equip and inspire people to act. With over 40% of Scotland’s electricity demand now met by renewables and global projects like “Bin Twinning” removing hundreds of tonnes of waste annually, there is both urgency and possibility. Join us in caring for the earth, for justice, and for future generations.
