SUMMARY:Centering Africa at COP27
DESCRIPTION:In November\, leaders from the world’s nations will be convening at COP27\, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh\, Egypt. While this summit has been described as “the African COP\,” activists from the continent have asserted that they are already being shut out. In this webinar\, we will center the climate concerns and issues faced by Africa\, the continent that bears the least responsibility for the climate crisis yet is most vulnerable to its destructive impacts. A prominent concern for African nations at COP27 is the matter of who will pay for the increasing losses and damages inflicted by the climate crisis. Over the past 50 years\, climate exacerbated drought has led to a loss of an estimated $70 billion in the Horn of Africa and southern Africa\, while the cost of rising sea levels is projected to reach $50 billion by 2050 for islands and coastal areas. Of far greater significance than what can be expressed in monetary amounts is the enormous loss of life that has occurred. Over the past 50 years\, drought led to the loss of over a half million lives\, while flooding has claimed the lives of 20\,000. Among the featured panelists for this webinar will be Dr. Tinashe Gumbo from the All Africa Conference of Churches and the Rev. Michael Kalito from Theological Education by Extension in Zambia (TEEZ). \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.
