ÖRK rückt bei COP29 nicht-monetäre klimabedingte Verluste ins Rampenlicht

Der Ökumenische Rat der Kirchen (ÖRK) hat im Rahmen der COP29 zusammen mit Partnern zwei Nebenveranstaltungen zu den nicht-monetären Folgen des Klimawandels organisiert. Die Diskussionen drehten sich um die Frage, inwiefern sich der Klimawandel auf vulnerable Gemeinwesen – insbesondere indigene Völker – in aller Welt auswirkt, weil er das kulturelle Erbe, spirituelle Praktiken und die Resilienz der Menschen gefährdet und belastet.

Address by Prof Dr Isabel Apawo Phiri at the closing ceremony of Eco-School 2020/21 for the Pacific (26 February 2021)

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

I had addressed you less than a week ago at the opening of the WCC Eco School 2020-2021 on Sunday evening, Geneva time. And here I am addressing you at the closing. The past 5 days have passed very quickly.  I have been updated by my colleagues responsible for the Eco School that this was an unique experience for all of them and I am sure for you as well. Carrying out a training programme for 5 consecutive days beyond midnight was new for most of them.  But I gather it has been a very enriching experience for them journeying with you all imparting this important training and at the same time listening to your valuable comments, questions and feedback.  But as I said in the opening, despite the geographic and time divide, we are united together virtually for a common cause  -  and that it eco justice!

We thank you, the Pacific youth, for your time and commitment.
