The World Council of Churches (WCC) reinforced its commitment to labor justice and climate equity at the "Care Dialogue" in Brussels on 30 October, co-hosted by UNI Care Europa. The event brought together key leaders from labor and faith communities to address critical issues in the global workforce, from workers’ rights to the future of work in an age of automation and environmental challenges.
The World Council of Churches (WCC) was represented at a gathering of more than 40 organizations from across Europe involved in the Blue Community initiative. Blue Communities, a concept founded by the Council of Canadians and the Blue Planet Project, recognize water and sanitation as human rights, promote public control over water resources and ban or phase out the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at events.
Following the WCC/UN High Level Conference on the Refugee Crisis in Europe, which took place at the Ecumenical Centre Geneva on 18-19 January, a statement has been issued entitled "Europe’s Response to the Refuge Crisis, From Origin to Transit, Reception and Refuge, A Call for Shared Responsibility and Coordinated Action”.
