The National Religious Partnership for the Environment is an association of independent faith groups across a broad spectrum: the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops along with its affiliated program arm the Catholic Climate Covenant, the National Council of Churches USA and its affiliate Creation Justice Ministries, the Jewish Council on Public Affairs and its affiliate the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, and the Evangelical Environmental Network. Each Partner — drawing upon its distinctive traditions — is undertaking scholarship, leadership training, congregational and agency initiatives, and public policy education in service to environmental sustainability and justice.
A broad spectrum of religious leaders sent President Obama a letter following his State of the Union address urging him to use a moral framework that includes being responsible stewards of God's creation and protecting vulnerable populations in the U.S. and abroad as the President implements his Climate Action Plan.
