A Forest of Hope for Paris 2015

In Paris in December 2015, world leaders will gather to seek a global agreement on how to reduce carbon emissions and reduce the risk of climate change to safe levels.

During September, members and visitors to St John's Church, Princes Street, Edinburgh, are writing prayers and messages of encouragement and hope on paper leaves, to bring a forest of hope into leaf inside our beautiful and historic church.

By 21 September we had over 100 leaves, and you are still welcome to go in and write one to add to the artwork.

This is one of many actions around the world raising awareness and putting pressure on governments to reach a strong climate deal. We would encourage you to find out about other events over the next three months and participate.

In particular, we would encourage you to participate in Scotland's Climate March, which begins at 12 noon on 28 November in the Meadows, and is organised by Stop Climate Chaos Scotland.
