Catholics in Coalition for Justice and Peace is a coalition of individuals and groups, working for the emergence of just social structures in Australia and overseas. It works as an integral part of the Church at the service of the world and especially of the victims of injustice. It has the following aims:

To act in solidarity with poor, deprived and oppressed people in the struggle for justice and   peace.  

To bring a Catholic dimension to that struggle.  

To assist and challenge all Catholics to work for justice and peace by establishing opportunities for reflection, dialogue and service.

To work within the Catholic Church for a more inclusive, participatory and just Church.

To work in collaboration with counterparts in Australia and overseas.

 In order to safeguard the future of our planet and avoid dangerous climate change, a fair and just climate treaty in Copenhagen is not optional, it is a must. The key to a fair and just climate treaty is global cooperation. The UN climate negotiations are at a critical point, but there is a real risk that political deadlock over ‘who does what’ will prevent them from moving forward at the pace that is necessary to secure the treaty we need. This cannot be allowed to happen, and you can help.by reading the daily UN E-monitors blog from Bonn
