Over 80% of residents in Brent follow a faith. Brent Council recognised that engaging residents on the issue of climate change would be important to get support for climate initiatives. The council worked with faith groups and places of worship to put on exhibitions such as “Climate Change and my religion” and talks on climate change – linking the moral principles of different religions to taking positive climate action. This work culminated in the creation of the Brent Faith Climate Action Group to work on specific faith and climate change issues. In July 2023, the Faith Climate Action Plan was launched at a local synagogue to encourage faith groups and their communities to take sustainable actions, enabling residents to live more sustainably and save money on bills.
