Green Sanctuary 2030
For 35 years, the Green Sanctuary program has supported UUs in protecting our environment. We honor that work and we need to transform our commitments and actions to respond to the challenges of our times. The new Green Sanctuary 2030: Mobilizing for Climate Justice offers a flexible, manageable, and impactful process to support UUs in transforming their congregations through climate justice.
The Green Sanctuary 2030 process and community are here to support your congregation’s climate ministry. With just one requirement for yearly recognition, there has never been a better time to renew your congregation’s commitment to climate justice! Questions? Connect with our team by emailing us!
