In my opinion church is a social network that hasn’t been fully mobilized in fighting climate change. There are still lots of thing can be done through churches. That’s what we are now working on.
For many developing countries in Africa, church is a very effective channel for civil education. For example, last week I visited Tanzania, a country with 4.6 million Lutherans / over 30% of total population. When that church is determined to do something to fight climate change, you can expect the impact could be huge. For instance, that church long ago has required every students in confirmation class to plant 2 trees as a visible action to feedback the nature.
For other avenues of collective action, I think promoting renewable energy can be a good way. I visited a household in a remote villiage near Arusha and they are using solar energy. I later knew that the church granted them with a small loan to install solar panel (which is one of the few ways to get electricity in remote area). What I think is in developing country, if NGOs/Government can help promoting renewable energy, they can help the people and the environment at the same time.
As when some people in developing country need to choose between a diesel generator and a solar panel, why don’t we help them or even subsidized thema bit to make a wiser choice for our collective good.
I hope I have answered parts of your question. But I think you would have more insights to share with us.

In addition to the church, what are some other avenues of collective action/education do you identify in the developing world?
