Asalaamu Alaikum,

The Muslim Council of Britain welcomes the start of the UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, taking place in Glasgow from Sunday, 31st October to 12th November. World leaders, campaigners, activists and industry representatives are set to gather to discuss commitments from previous accords and a vision for 2050. As such, the conference represents a critical opportunity in global efforts to avert climate catastrophe.

MCB Secretary-General Zara Mohammed said:

“Environmental sustainability, reducing wastefulness and showing kindness to living beings are integral concepts in Islam.
Muslim communities in the UK are becoming increasingly engaged in climate action; be it projects aimed at promoting environmental sustainability within Mosque communities, reducing waste and promoting greater awareness of climate justice in collaboration with partners from different faith and community groups.

This November, The Muslim Council of Britain joins in marking Islamophobia Awareness Month (IAM) 2021 – a month dedicated to highlighting the experiences and impact of Islamophobia on the everyday lives of British Muslim, whilst also celebrating the contributions of British Muslim communities to society.

Commenting on the beginning of IAM 2021, MCB Secretary-General, Zara Mohammed, said:

“50% of British Muslims are under the age of 25. How we respond to Islamophobia now will determine the safety of, and opportunities available to, younger generations of British Muslims. In order to build thriving communities, we must take firm action against this pervasive form of bigotry. This requires political will, and leadership at the top, alongside robust partnerships at a grassroots level.

“The MCB reiterates its call for the Government to adopt the APPG on British Muslim’s definition of Islamophobia and to implement the recommendations made by the Singh investigation. Islamophobia is not only a Muslim problem – it is a societal one. We must all come together to tackle it.”
This year we will be giving out awards to our affiliate organisations in a variety of categories.
