Join FWCC to learn, discuss and explore climate action in the run up to what should have been COP26.,
We know Friends worldwide are passionate about sustainability and climate action. So FWCC has been working with the interfaith Liasion Committee to the UNFCC, and now we write to you with an invitation to a 3-part interactive event series open to all Friends worldwide.
''Worldwide, Covid-19 has disrupted every agenda for 2020. So it is for the interfaith dialogue on climate change also: just six months ago the International Liaison Committee and other faith-based actors were planning various events for November’s COP26 in Glasgow. People from faith groups and networks in Scotland and across the UK were planning, alongside partners from other faith-based networks across the globe, to demonstrate the important role of faith in achieving a successful outcome to COP26.
Now we are planning for a COP in November 2021, and in a world that is very different than it was in 2019. Not only are we facing the emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic, but also an ever more pressing climate crisis. Every day of inaction on climate change puts the future of humanity in deeper peril and exacerbates pre-existing inequalities and vulnerabilities. As people of faith, and those who deeply respect the importance of faith traditions around the world, we understand that climate change, as an existential issue, calls on our core values and understanding of life to guide us to action and transformation.
We are not going to wait passively for the next COP to gather. We want to renew the conversation on climate action, and inspire all people of faith to raise awareness and motivate action on climate change through all tools available. It is for this reason that we are organising a three-part interfaith webinar series on climate change from a faith perspective.''
Do come along, join with different faith, and explore the importance of faiths and climate action with Friends around the world.
