GreenFaith is a global interfaith environmental coalition. 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. 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".
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. 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.
They have offices in Kenya and Germany and staff in the US, Germany, France, Kenya, Brazil, Indonesia and Japan.
