COP 26 More commitment and action from world leaders is needed“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.

Symposium: Communication for Social Justice in the Digital Age

“Communication for Social Justice in the Digital Age,” an international symposium jointly hosted by WACC and the World Council of Churches (WCC), will offer a chance to explore new visions for digital justice, public space, and actions that will make a difference.

Scheduled September 13-15, the symposium will offer people around the world the opportunity to reflect on key questions and provide input on the issues of Digital Justice, Public Space, and Vision for the Future. A pre-symposium process will invite discussion and contributions from eight regions, which will be compiled by working groups.

The Season of Creation is celebrated annually by tens of thousands of Christians around the world. During the Season of Creation, we pray and act to protect God’s creation.

The Season of Creation is celebrated by Christians across the ecumenical spectrum, and the leaders of many faith traditions have encouraged us to participate.

The season begins on September 1, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and runs through October 4, the Feast of St. Francis, who is the patron saint of ecology in many traditions.
