The Bishop of Norwich, Graham Usher, has accepted the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury to lead the Church of England\u2019s Environment Programme with a charge to lead bold, deliberate, collaborative action across the Church to tackle the grave existential crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.<\/p>\n

Bishop Graham will work with the Mission and Public Affairs department of the Church of England to lead the Church of England\u2019s Environment Programme, including the commitment to net-zero carbon impacts across the Church of England by 2030 set by General Synod in February 2020.<\/p>\n

He will succeed the Bishop of Salisbury, Nicholas Holtam, who retires later in the year. <\/p>\n

Delighted that @bishopnorwich<\/a> will be leading @churchofengland<\/a>'s Environment Programme. We can already see the devastating effects of climate change around the world – my prayers are with Bishop Graham as he embarks on this vital role at a crucial time. https:\/\/t.co\/En7JjdIbcK<\/a><\/p>\n
