«De las palabras a la acción» se basa en la publicación de 2019 del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) titulada «Hoja de ruta para las congregaciones, las comunidades y las iglesias para una economía de vida y una justicia ecológica», una invitación a debatir un programa de cinco pasos para cambiar nuestra manera de ocuparnos de la economía y nuestro entorno ecológico.

«Invitamos a las congregaciones, las comunidades y las iglesias a unirse a la peregrinación por una economía de vida y por la justicia climática, a comprometerse a introducir cambios en nuestra manera de vivir, a compartir ideas eficaces y alentarnos mutuamente».

En 2013, el CMI adoptó una declaración conjunta, “Poner a los niños en el centro”, y se asoció con UNICEF para desarrollar la capacidad de sus iglesias miembros y asociados ecuménicos para (1) proteger a la niñez y la adolescencia y (2) promover la participación significativa de la niñez y (3) su compromiso en las iniciativas de justicia climática.

UNICEF se asoció al CMI para fortalecer su compromiso efectivo con los actores religiosos para mejorar el bienestar de la niñez. Los actores religiosos pueden llegar a los/las niños/as más vulnerables y, a menudo, cuentan con la confianza, la influencia moral y la capacidad para hacerlo. Gracias a esta asociación, se puede llegar a un mayor número de asociados comunitarios conectados localmente.
