ACS 2025 Climate Justice Legislation

ACS 2025 Climate Justice Legislation

Our Task Force has submitted four pieces of climate justice legislation to this year’s Annual Conference Session (ACS). Click on the button to read the legislation and please encourage your pastor and lay delegates to support this climate justice legislation. There are also links here to our resource pages on each of the four topics.

NOTE: You can find the final text of the resolutions as passed here:

  1. Item 15 – Resolution for Conference Fossil Fuel Divestment asks the California-Nevada conference to transition all investment portfolios to low carbon and eventually fossil free funds and to report on progress in 2026.
  1. Item 12 – Recommendation to Spend 10 Minutes a Day in Nature encourages all congregants to spend time daily outside in mindful connection with Creation.
  1. Item 17 – Recommendation on Green Teams encourages all congregations to establish green teams or equivalent for action in the four areas of connection, education, action and advocacy.
  1. Item 13 – Resolution to Boycott Chevron to Defend God’s Creation and Human Rights adds the California-Nevada Conference to the list of groups that are joining the global boycott of Chevron Corporation by signing the boycott statement of United Methodists for Kairos Response and encouraging congregations to mobilize boycott activities in their area.
