SUMMARY:Mad Love for the World: What We Can Do About the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Do you wonder what actually goes on at those international climate conferences? What role do ordinary citizens play? How are voices heard? And whose voices are the ones that shape policy? How can we make sure that justice as at the heart of climate action?\nEmilie Smith will be speaking about her four month pilgrimage (by bus, train, boat, burro and bicycle) to last years’ UN climate conference, COP30 in Belem, Brazil. She is also just back from the first conference for the transition away from fossil fuels which happened April 27-28 in Santa Marta Colombia. She was one of four women from the inter-faith sector selected to attend the entire conference, including the high level inter-governmental negotiations.\nEmilie is a poet, pilgrim and an Anglican priest (she was the rector of New Westminster’s St. Barnabas from 2013-until March 1 this year). She retired in order to work full-time in coming alongside communities fighting for a new way forward beyond the climate crisis.\nEmilie knows that “We are the Answer” to the climate crisis, but has questions about which “we is we”? Come for a stimulating, engaging, thoughtful, and provocative time.\n \n  Emilie on her burro on her COP30 pilgrimage.\n \n \nThis program will be offered in person at the library and streamed online via Zoom. All registered attendees will receive the Zoom link shortly before the program date.\n
