GreenFaith is a global interfaith environmental coalition.[1] Focusing on grassroots activism, it encourages faith leaders worldwide to invest in green energy, divest from fossil fuels, and publicly advocate for climate justice on a religious basis.[2] It also "offers training programs, resources, and campaigns to support faith-based environmental initiatives," organizes "interfaith environmental events" and facilitates "dialogue between religious leaders, environmentalists, and policymakers".[3]

GreenFaith has more than 100 chapters (called "Circles") in the Pacific Islands, North America, Australia, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Europe as well as religious partners in over 40 countries.[4][5][6] The organization "envisions a movement in which leaders can take their rightful place in the community and lead actions" near their hometowns via local organizing.[7]

They have offices in Kenya and Germany and staff in the US, Germany, France, Kenya, Brazil, Indonesia and Japan.[2]
