Responding to the climate emergency – webinar October 20

Join us on Sunday, October 20th at 2pm PT (3pm MT, 4pm CT, 5pm ET, 11am HT, 10pm London, 8 am Sydney +1 day), on Zoom, for a chance to hear proposals to aid in the climate emergency our world is facing.

Hosted by the Human Rights, Climate Justice, Earth Stewardship teams this webinar will explore three climate resolutions that were proposed for the Community of Christ 2025 World Conference. Each is a response to WCR 1325 declaring a Climate Emergency. Each resolution will be presented by those involved in drafting the resolutions.

“G-11 Climate Change Emergency Call to Action” World Church Human Rights Team Presented by James Ash.  As expected, it focuses on responding to the climate emergency in socially responsible ways. It also includes recognition of climate refugees, and calls for resource development.

“G-10 Earth Stewardship Affirmation” World Church Earth Stewardship Team Presented by Rick Bunch. This broad proposal covers a variety of proposed actions: resource development, creating and sustaining eco-friendly facilities, local peace colloquies, and children and youth stewardship projects.

“G-5 Climate Emergency: Fossil Fuel Reduction” Greater Pacific Northwest USA Mission Center Presented by Paul Bethel. It calls for a just transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, and encourages divesting from fossil fuel investing.
