Many had plans and made some progress in vanquishing their addiction to fossil fuels and using recyclable materials. Some entities changed the way they quantify their climate goals or outright postponed or extended their due dates.

Local entities and congregations have or are progressing on renewables, energy storage, recycling, and promoting education — aka enlightenment — for a cleaner, greener, more-sustainable Earth.
