Advocacy

Church of Sweden’s international advocacy work targets those with economic and political power in Sweden, the EU and the UN, and aims to bring about long-term, sustainable change.

Church of Sweden takes an active role in issues of sustainable development, peace, democracy and human rights based on the equal value and rights of all people.

We are members of:  

  • ACT Alliance EU (APRODEV), a network that lobbies EU institutions.
  • Swedwatch which monitors how companies with links to Sweden impact people and the environment in low-income countries.
  • Fairtrade Sverige (Sweden), which gives consumers a direct opportunity to support companies and trade helping to combat poverty.
  • CONCORD Sweden, which works with development policy.
