Four interviews from friends and allies exploring Black History Month and the unique challenges of climate change experienced as a racialised person.
October marks Black History Month in the UK, which has been commemorated for more than three decades. It started as a celebration of the contributions that people of African and Caribbean backgrounds have made to Britain from past to present.
For 2025, Black History Month theme was ‘Standing Firm in Power and Pride’. At Faith for the Climate, we honoured this theme by publishing an in-depth series of interviews with friends and allies within our network all month long. These rich conversations taught us about their journeys into climate justice and their joys and challenges as racialised people within the wider climate and nature movement.
While the views shared in these interviews are all the interviewees’ own, these conversations provide invaluable glimpses into the multiple pathways and experiences of climate justice from global majority perspectives. They are a taster of the breadth of faith-inspired wisdom within and beyond our network, which we invite you to dive into and savour.
We want these to be the start of many more conversations about the lived experiences of faith and climate justice from global majority perspectives. Sign up to our newsletter and social media channels for updates.
