From Australia-The Anglican Diocese of Perth has decided to divest itself of fossil fuel investments over what it says is a responsibility to act on climate change.
The diocese made the decision at its annual synod over the weekend and now plans to put funds into renewable energy investments.
It also passed a motion calling on the Federal Government to put in place an "effective carbon pricing mechanism".
Father Evan Pederick said he hoped the measures would help to increase pressure for action to stop climate change.
