This session will feature Dinesh Suna, WCC programme executive for Land, Water, and Food, and coordinator of the WCC Ecumenical Water Network. Reflecting on the significance of Earth Day in a year of three major UN summits on climate, biodiversity, and land, Suna said: "This year being a 'triple COP' year, the three conventions that emerged out of the Earth Summit in Rio, 1992, it is important to explore the interconnectedness of the UNFCCC (Climate COP), UNCBD (Biodiversity COP) and UNCCD (land/desertification COP). WCC will be participating in all the three COPs. We can no longer work in silos."

Suna added: "Earth Day reminds us to work towards clean air, clean water, clean energy, protected natural resources, biodiversity and climate stability. If we do not mend our ways towards sustainable living, we will use up our annual quota of resources by July 2026. Thus humanity's ecological footprint now demands 1.8 times the resources Earth can regenerate annually, but we only have one earth. Let’s protect it."

Coordinated by URI Europe, with the Asha Centre, Middlesex University London, TiA, Unity in Diversity, DME, and URI UK, the series gathers every third Monday at 17:00 CET. It draws together interfaith voices, Cooperation Circles, and civil society partners to exchange experience and identify practical steps for climate action — grounded in faith. Earlier sessions took up ecology and economy, and the relationship between climate change and migration; sessions through June will turn to communication and nature, and post-war environmental healing in Syria.

All are welcome to attend. The webinar takes place online via Zoom and is open to participants worldwide. To register for the 20 April session, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/4runxntj.
