Environment Action

In February 2020, the General Synod of the Church of England resolved to become carbon neutral by 2030, an objective which Ely Cathedral is seeking to implement.

The Cathedral is also taking part in the A Rocha Eco Church Award Scheme and quicky achieved the Bronze Award, followed soon after by the Silver Award in February 2020.

Our Environment Group RENEW, members of the congregation, clergy, staff and wider community are focused on ‘Going for Gold’, alongside meeting General Synod’s target to become carbon ‘net zero’ by 2030.

You can donate to this cause over coffee after the service. This ‘Litter Pick Pilgrimage’ falls on Environment Sunday when the preacher will be The Revd Imogen Nay, the Bishop of Ely’s Advisor for Climate.
