The Diocese of Salford, led by Bishop John Arnold, is driving the decarbonization of Church buildings through the"Guardians of Creation" initiative, aligning with Pope Francis' call for urgent environmental stewardship.

Bishop Arnold addressed the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities, particularly indigenous populations and small island nations. He pointed out the Church’s significant carbon footprint, stating,"As of yesterday, it was revealed that our Church's emissions, nationally, are greater than those of small island states like Antigua. This is a significant footprint that we must address, as we are responsible for real damage.

While some political leaders and industries have been slow to act, Bishop Arnold said he remains hopeful, emphasizing the importance of faith leaders in driving change."Faith leaders are crucial in this. We have 1.3 billion Catholics in the world, and 85% of the global population belongs to a religion. Across all faiths, caring for creation is a shared priority," he said.
