5. As people of faith, our care for Creation is rooted in language of covenant and connection to the sacred. Faith Adds Value to our Response

6. Our global population, economy and energy emissions have brought us to a turning point. We must use our shared priorities to build more resilient, safe, and healthy communities for the 21 st century. We stand at a turning point!

7. As global population is projected to increase 2 billion to 9 billion by 2050, we must respond to the rising risks of climate warming. We must change direction by re-defining our direction!
