President Donald Trump wrongly decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, an international accord that marked the most significant and comprehensive global effort to combat climate change. Since I attended the United Nations climate talks in Paris in December of 2015 that led to the Paris Agreement (and likely know more about the Agreement than Trump), I wrote a Religion News Service column to reflect on Christians I met in Paris from around the world.
In the column, I Refuse to Forget the Christians Advocating for Climate Action, I focus on visiting with Bishop Efraim Tendero, secretary-general of the World Evangelical Alliance and a member of the official delegation from the Philippines. I am thankful for the witness of global evangelicals for climate justice, and I hope that white evangelicals in the U.S. will catch up. Hopefully we will listen to voices like Tendero, not Trump. Check out the column.
