Thinking and Praying About Copenhagen

This week, climate experts, policy makers, and government leaders are gathering in Copenhagen, Denmark to plan and negotiate international law concerning carbon emissions. Please pray that leaders will work together with fairness and equity, and that they would seek justice for the nations who are most adversely affected by climate change. These nations have some of the lowest carbon emissions, yet they are affected so negatively by rising sea levels.

And a prayer from Sojourners:

Creator of the world, we continue to pray that world leaders meeting in Copenhagen would come together to face this challenge that confronts us all. Those who have the least resources and who are least equipped to face the problems caused by climate change often end up bearing the brunt of the consequences; we pray for them also, that you would have mercy on them and keep them safe. May we all recognize our roles in the responsible stewardship of the earth. Amen.
