Greetings from Bangkok! On behalf of the ACT Alliance Youth Community of Practice (CoP), I would like to share with you an invitation to join the 2022 Digital Climate Caravan in the lead-up to the COP27 in Egypt in November 2022. I enjoin you to engage in this process considering the critical role of the youth not in just in leading the Alliance but in addressing the climate crisis. We are particularly proud of the role of our very own colleagues from Asia-Pacific, Patricia Mungcal (NCC Philippines) and Brigita Ra Sekar Laras (YEU Indonesia), in leading this piece of work globally along with our Youth CoP leaders. Best regards, Alwynn
Join us in the ACT Youth Climate Caravan Campaign This year the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) on Climate Change will take place in Egypt. Yet, despite 26 years of climate negotiations, in 2022, the climate crisis continues to ravage communities, creating multiple and intersecting paths of destruction across the world. As the ecumenical youth of the broadest faith-based coalition of organizations and churches working on humanitarian, development, and advocacy issues, we seek to develop a digital climate caravan that gives a platform for voices on the ground and highlights solidarity and action from within our ecumenical network. We want to hear from you! (And particularly from the youth in your organization!). Please share your stories with us - in the form of pictures, videos, arts or text - around how youth in your region is affected by, and fighting for climate justice in various ways. We seek to collect stories and testimonies from across the ACT Alliance network that will be published on our social media accounts. Our objectives: ·To raise awareness on the intersectional impacts and challenges caused by the climate crisis (with regard to gender, migration, conflict, and young people, among others) across different regions. ·To strengthen and the ecumenical youth voice in the discourse on climate solutions. ·To showcase international youth solidarity within the ecumenical network regarding the climate crisis. Please find out more information in our concept note and share our posters with the youth in your organization. Any questions, as well as photos, videos and other contributions can be sent accordingly to our regional youth contact persons (see poster)and copied in this email. Thank you ACT Alliance Youth Community of Practice Youth Climate Sub-group Emma, Patricia, Lauri, Dave, Brigita, Tova, Jeronim, Goitumetswe, Brynne and Daisy
