爱我们的邻居，为营造安全的气候行动起来

圣经里教导基督徒爱我们围的邻居，与关怀上帝创造的一切。耶稣与大自然的联系时常体现在他的教义中，他盼望所有人都能拥有充实圆满的生活。我们尤其受到召唤，该去照顾那些贫困者，为世界的正义与和平而奋斗不息。

目前，从Hurstville到河南，我们的社群正在遭受污染和侵犯人权行为的影响。这些行为均源于煤炭、石油和天然气等化石燃料的开采和燃烧。这些燃料在汽车里、炉灶内和电厂中燃烧，而所产生的污染物正在使我们的地球升温。

2023年是人类记录以来地球最热的一年，化石燃料污染使得极端天气事件更加严重和频繁。热浪、洪水和丛林大火对我们所有人而言都是严重的健康和经济风险，对贫困者和老年人来说更是如此。

同时，煤炭、石油和天然气公司却从化石燃料的开采、燃烧和出口中牟取暴利。这些公司得到了政府的支持，而政府还在不断批准新的煤炭和天然气项目。作为耶稣的追随者，我们必须对不公正的权力发起挑战，助力打造一个人类和地球都能繁荣昌盛的世界。

有很多途径可以让我们参与问题的解决。我们可以积极地改变生活方式，我们可以使用可再生能源，我们可以转向那些投资于气候解决方案而不是化石燃料的银行和超级基金，我们还可以让我们的政府做得更好。

正是老百姓为了共同的利益而携手合作，因此安全气候所需的变革。若您想要了解更多信息并采取行动，请访问澳大利亚宗教应对气候变化组织的网站：arrcc.org.au

Action for a safe climate as loving our neighbour

Throughout the Bible, Christians are called to love our neighbours and to care for God’s Creation. Jesus’ connection with nature often came through in His teachings, and He wanted for all people to have fullness of life. We’re especially called to care for those who are poor, and to work for justice and peace in the world. 

Right now, our communities from Hurstville to Henan are impacted by the pollution and human rights abuses that come from digging and burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. 

These fuels are burnt in cars, stovetops and power plants, and the pollution they produce is heating our planet. 

Last year was the hottest year on record, and fossil fuel pollution is making extreme weather events worse and more frequent. Heatwaves, floods, and bushfires are a serious health and financial risk to us all, even more so for the poor and the elderly. 

Meanwhile coal, oil and gas companies are profiting unfairly from the digging, burning and exporting of fossil fuels. These companies are supported by governments that keep approving new coal and gas projects. As followers of Jesus, we must challenge unjust power and help create a world where people and the earth thrive.

There are many ways that we can be part of the solutions. We can make positive lifestyle changes, we can use renewable energy, we can switch to banks and super funds that invest in climate solutions rather than fossil fuels, and we can get our governments to do better. 

It is everyday people working together for the common good who are creating the change needed for a safe climate. To learn more and take action, visit Australian Religious Response to Climate Change at arrcc.org.au
