Climate breakdown is a humanitarian crisis

Muslim communities are among some of the worst affected by climate breakdown, from flooding in Bangladesh to droughts in Somalia.

The UK, as one of the world's biggest historical polluters, has a responsibility to help prevent further catastrophe.

Donate your sadaqah (whatever you can afford to give) to Friends of the Earth today and help lobby the UK government to act on climate.

Podcast: Ramadan goes green

The Islamic month of Ramadan is a time for fasting, reflection and community for Muslims everywhere.

Back in 2020, Climate Campaigner Muna Suleiman talked to 3 British Muslims – Magid Magid, Lamees Hafeez, and Zunaira Malik – about how the coronavirus lockdown has impacted their fasting, cooking channel addictions and advice for making Ramadan eco-friendly.

Press play and listen to their advice.

Who does climate change affect?

Climate change is devastating the lives of the world's most vulnerable people. Extreme weather, crop damage and sea-level rise are forcing millions of climate refugees to flee their homes.

The UN Refugee Agency says climate change adds to many of today’s conflicts – from Darfur to Somalia to Iraq and Syria.

The effects will get worse as temperatures rise so we must cut greenhouse gas emissions. But people also need protection from the unavoidable climate change that's already happening. That means financial support for countries in the global south, and legal protection for climate refugees.
