SUMMARY:Science and Spirituality: An Ethical Stocktake Dialogue to Inspire COP30
DESCRIPTION:Why do we deny or ignore what both science and other ways of knowing teach us about the climate crisis? How can we learn from spiritual traditions and practices to live in balance with nature? \n\n\n\nJoin the Center for Earth Ethics and Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology online on Wednesday\, November 5\, at 1 p.m. (ET) for “Science and Spirituality: An Ethical Stocktake Dialogue to Inspire COP30.” Part of the Global Ethical Stocktake—an initiative of the COP30 presidency led by Minister of the Environment and Climate of Brazil\, Marina Silva—this dialogue will inform the GES report for COP30 and amplify the newly released Living Earth Community website. \n\n\n\nKey Questions \n\n\n\nThe Global Ethical Stocktake seeks answers to five strategic questions. Each dialogue must address at least one of them: \n\n\n\n\nWhy\, even when aware of the risks\, do we deny or ignore what science and traditional knowledge tell us about the climate crisis?\n\n\n\nWhy do we maintain models of production and consumption that harm the most vulnerable and contradict the goals of Mission 1.5°C?\n\n\n\nWhat can be done to ensure that wealthy countries accelerate their transitions and contribute financially to the most vulnerable?\n\n\n\nWhat cultural or spiritual traditions and practices from your community teach how to live in balance with nature?\n\n\n\nHow can we mobilize more people\, leaders\, businesses\, and nations to support fair and ethical change? What values can inspire this mission?\n\n\n\n\nHost: Karenna Gore | Executive Director of  Center for Earth Ethics  \n\n\n\nModerator:  Mary Evelyn Tucker | Co-Director of Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology\, Living Earth Community \n\n\n\nParticipants: \n\n\n\nLyla June Johnston | Musician\, scholar and community organizer of Diné (Navajo)\, Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages \n\n\n\nUrsula Goodenough | Professor Emerita of biology at Washington University in St. Louis; Author of “Sacred Depths of Nature.” \n\n\n\nMelanie Harris | Professor of Black feminist thought and womanist theology at Wake Forest School of Divinity; Director of Food Health and Ecological Well-Being Program  \n\n\n\nMirian Vilela | Executive Director of Earth Charter International Secretariat\, Executive Director of the Center for Education for Sustainable Development at University for Peace \n\n\n\nSteve Kolmes | Editor of Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development; Professor Emeritus of environmental studies at University of Portland

SUMMARY:Conference | The Religious Origins of White Supremacy: Doctrine of Christian Discovery
DESCRIPTION:In the 1823 US Supreme Court decision\, Johnson v M’Intosh\, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote\,”…discovery gave title to government…[and] the sole right of acquiring the soil from the natives.” This decision underpins US property law. Marshall’s deliberate use of the word “discovery” is an intentional reference to 15th-century Catholic papal bulls\, which stated that any Christian who “discovers” a land populated by non-Christians has superior title\, or rights of ownership\, over that land. In essence\, Johnson codifies into US law the principle of Euro-Christian domination over Indigenous peoples. In the most devastating sense\, the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (DoCD) legitimized exploitation\, extraction\, and enslavement globally and enshrined these practices as the basis of U.S. property law still cited today as recently as 2005 (in Sherrill v. Oneida) and 2020 (McGirt v. Oklahoma).  \n\n\n\nIn Johnson’s 200th year\, there is an urgent need for global recognition of the decision’s implications as reifying the DoCD and its exploitation of Indigenous peoples and their connection to land\, regarded as a living being (Mother Earth in English.) This conference builds on the history of collaboration at Syracuse University with Indigenous communities across Central New York by expanding dissemination of the pernicious ideologies of DoCD and Johnson\, leading to further repudiation of these ideologies and towards healing and repair.

DESCRIPTION:At the 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions (PoWR)\, The Interfaith Rainforest Initiative brought Indigenous leaders from the Amazon across the world to share an urgent plea to protect the Amazon Rainforest.

How can we directly address greenwashing so that we can deploy meaningful solutions at all levels of the supply chain? \nA realignment of values that puts the needs of people and the health of the planet first is key to food systems transformation.
