Two terms that are included in separate preambular paragraphs to the 2015 Paris Agreement, just transition and eco-justice, are analysed, to understand how they emerged and how they have implications for strategic alliance building and policymaking.Churches and church-related organisations have to prioritize with whom to cooperate, which relates to which notion of sustainability that is chosen.The article explains two Norwegian decades long cooperations, also identifying the main content of the massive investment programmes in green technology that are underway in the USA and the EU, that shift considerably the modes of cooperation.The article builds on the practice of diakonia as identified in Called to Transformation.Ecumenical Diakonia by the World Council of Churhes and ACT Alliance, and theological perspectives, asking how they can be tools for alliance building.Specifically, the article identifies two opposing views on nature: instrumental and intrinsic; two opposing understandings of environmental compensation; and two rationales for cooperation in relation to nature: "technology fix" and "nature first"
