About GNOICC: The Greater New Orleans Interfaith Climate Coalition acts as a catalyst to educate, empower, engage, and equip faith leaders and communities to meet our moral, ethical, and spiritual responsibility to establish climate justice and promote care of the Earth, and all that dwell here. We are committed to encouraging participation by all faith communities of our local area but in particular members of those groups which tend to be underrepresented in the dominant political and economic system: women, racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and minorities of sexual orientation.

GNOICC’s programs are deeply energized and inspired by the practices and teachings of the various faith and secular communities that GNOICC partners with and represents.
