UUCM Green Sanctuary Action Plan
The UUCM Green Sanctuary Action Plan aims to mobilize our congregation for climate justice and environmental stewardship, in alignment with the UUA Green Sanctuary 2030 guidelines. This action plan outlines UUCM’s journey toward Green Sanctuary accreditation, focusing on four key campaigns:
- Congregational Transformation
- Mitigation
- Adaptation & Resilience
- Justice.
This roadmap seeks to engage our congregation in meaningful climate action, deepen our commitment to sustainability, and strengthen our community’s resilience. By embracing these steps, UUCM can become a beacon of climate justice and environmental stewardship in our community. Together, we will create a sustainable and just world for all.
