Environment Action
To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth (The fifth mark of Mission)
Ely Cathedral places creation care at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to walking in step with nature and taking action on climate change.
The Cathedral is part of the A Rocha Eco Church Award Scheme and became only the third cathedral to be awarded the prestigious Gold Award in August 2024.
Our Environment Group RENEW, the congregation, clergy, staff and wider community are determined to build on our work as a Gold Eco Church, alongside meeting the Church of England’s target to become carbon ‘net zero’ by 2030.
Upcoming Events
9 - 22 September
Fairtrade Fortnight
Why not Be the Change by picking up Fairtrade products and speaking up for fairer trade.
In the 30th year of Fairtrade, their public campaigns go to the heart of calls for greater price and power for farmers and call for rapid action on environmental sustainability and climate justice, the most urgent issues of our time.
Your actions can help influence businesses and decision makers to step up and drive the change that is needed for fairer trade deals for the farmers who supply us with so much of our food. For further information visit the Fairtrade website
