ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
| OBJECTIVES: | To promote climate justice by advocacy process at international governance bodies together with ecumenical churches, multiple stake holders and networks upholding the youth an student voice. |
WSCF train and empower more students and leaders to fight climate change, campaign for the rights of indigenous people, and create lasting change for the earth.
As Christians, we believe that we are stewards of God’s creation, called to care for the environment and the world. But across the globe, we are seeing the devastating effects of climate change, which is not only harming the planet but leaving people displaced, vulnerable and poor.
WSCF is committed to fighting this injustice, supporting our local movements and students to campaign for the rights of marginalized peoples and working globally to secure a better future for our shared planet. You can help these students today by donating to WSCF’s Eco-Justice programs.
- Student leaders trained to advocate for marginalized people and campaign for eco-justice.
- Churches empowered to work for environmental justice through theological training and study.
- Local SCMs working together to campaign for climate justice and protect natural resources.
“It is indeed ‘now or never’. Today, our planet and humanity are at crossroads. The challenge of climate change is beyond human imagination and hence requires urgent attention and response. The future of our planet will depend on how the human race is going to respond to the challenge of climate change.” – WSCF Chairperson Dr. Geevarghese Mor Coorilos [Photo by LWF/Albin Hillert]
The World Student Christian Federation as part of the ecumenical coalition for climate justice -a coalition made of delegates and representatives from several different Christian organizations and churches- attended the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference that took place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in Glasgow, UK.
WSCF has been involved in Climate Justice advocacy as part of its Ecological Justice Global Program, being active in different ecumenical meetings and global encounters such as the United Nations Framework Convention Climate Conference (COPs) since 2015. Many activities have been done in the COPs framework, many of them related to the ecumenical delegation and inter-faith coordination in order to make our call for Climate and Social Justice stronger.
