FOOD & CLIMATE

Changing the Way We Do Food Will Save the Climate Movement

A FREE Virtual Workshop

DATE: Tuesday, January 18, 2022

TIME: 7:30 – 8:30 pm EST

Climate activism narrowly focused on electrifying our economy and reducing emissions, even if successful in those areas, still leads to ruin. On the other hand, by integrating climate justice and food sovereignty into our climate work, we have the potential to change the playing field itself. This approach can create pathways that circumvent and restructure the systems that created the crises we face. As Audre Lorde famously said, “For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.” We will look at work happening in Louisville, Kentucky, to help illustrate this approach and we will harvest examples of change strategies from participants and examine them through this lens. Finally, we’ll consider how to apply these lessons to our own settings and engagements.

COP 26 Climate Talks : PEC Represented by 3 Observers

COP 26 Climate Talks : PEC Represented by 3 Observers
This two week conference brings 190 countries together to achieve goals set forth by the Paris Agreement and through the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 at COP21, was adopted by all 196 parties present and primarily focused on limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. COP26 will review the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and expand upon ways countries can carry out their roles in the fight against climate change.
PEC will be represented at the conference by three delegates: Neddy Astudillo, Fred Milligan, and Burkhard Paetzold, in partnership with Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and GreenFaith. Be sure to follow along with their experience through regular blog posts here:

Presbyterians for Earth Care (PEC) invites individuals and congregations to participate in the growing earth care movement within the PC(USA). PEC is a national eco-justice network that cares for God’s creation by connecting, equipping, and inspiring Presbyterians to make creation care a central concern of the church.

Presbyterians for Earth Care cares for God’s Creation by:

Connecting members through a grassroots network of people seeking to keep the sacred at the center of earth care, advocacy and action both inside and outside the walls of the church.
Equipping members with resources, ideas and information for a shared journey toward a healthier planet by growing and sharing theological understandings and perspectives on eco-justice issues.
Inspiring members through stories of individuals and groups who have responded to the sacred call to care for the earth – stories told person to person at events, and by newsletter, email, social media and devotions.

Presbyterians for Earth Care was formerly called Presbyterians for Restoring Creation.
