SUMMARY:Climate Migration: Responding with Faith\, Care\, and Equity
DESCRIPTION:Migration stemming from the damage done to our climate is underway right now as the lives of people around the world are being uprooted and disrupted. From sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific Islands to Alaska and Louisiana\, we are seeing the present consequences of drought\, extreme weather\, and rising sea levels. According to a recent UN climate report\, 20 million people have been displaced each year since 2008 due to extreme weather that is often exacerbated by the climate crisis. While climate-related migration is bound to increase\, there is much we can do as people of faith to both mitigate the severity of the climate crisis and reduce worsening inequities amid forced displacement. This webinar will feature those working to address climate migration from a place of deeply held values: \n\nDrocella Mugorewera\, Executive Director for Bridge Refugee Services\nTomas Matom Ramirez\, Guatemalan Immigrant of the Indigenous Maya Ixil People\nRev. Irene Hassan\, Minister of Refugee and Migration Services for the United Church of Christ\n\nEven if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time\, still sign-up\, and we will send you a link to a recording of it. \nThis monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.
