The Anglican Alliance played a central role in organizing the Ecumenical Meeting of Ambassadors for Environmental Justice, held in Brasilia from March 18 to 21, 2025. The event, promoted in partnership with the World Council of Churches, Caritas Internationalis, ACT Alliance, Christian Aid, the Anglican Alliance, the Anglican Communion Office at the UN, the Lutheran World Federation, the CNBB, and CELAM, brought together around 50 religious leaders, representatives of different faith traditions, ecumenical organizations, indigenous communities, and climate experts. The meeting took place at the Anglican Diocese of Brasília, of the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil.  

The main objective of the meeting was to strengthen collaboration between religious leaders and organizations committed to environmental justice through the sharing of experiences, research, and public advocacy strategies for COP30. The program sought to empower participants to promote effective change in their communities and articulate a joint advocacy strategy. 

In its statement, the group established essential guidelines for influencing the climate agenda, including pressuring governments and the international community to fulfill climate finance pledges and ensure the implementation of the Loss and Damage Fund. In addition, it proposed accelerating a just transition to renewable energy, with a view to reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Assistance to vulnerable communities in adapting to climate change and prioritizing the voices of those most impacted by the crisis were also included. The document also calls for an end to fossil fuel subsidies and the reallocation of these resources to sustainable development, as well as demanding concrete commitments for the transition to 100% renewable energy at COP30. 

The delegation of religious leaders, which included the Primate of the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil, Marinez Bassotto, delivered the document entitled “Call to Action” to the Brazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Marina Silva. 

The Anglican Alliance, through Rev. Dr. Rodrigo Espiúca, Facilitator of the Communion Forest in the Americas, continues to articulate the continuity of this process, promoting dialogue with parliamentarians and members of Brazilian government agencies, ensuring that preparations for COP30 remain active and relevant on the national and international agenda.
