SUMMARY:UN Commission on the Status of Women: The Climate Crisis as a Catalyst for a Culture of Equality
DESCRIPTION:Statement Roundtable: “The Heart of Resilience: The Climate Crisis as a Catalyst for a Culture of Equality” \n  \nAn online dialogue for the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women \nHosted by the Baha’i International Community United Nations Office \nWednesday 16 March 2022 \n  \n“In a world where the impending risks of climate change press daily\, a twofold reality presents itself—while women are disproportionately affected by climate change\,  \nthey are uniquely situated to lead efforts in response.” \n  \nBackground \nThe priority theme for this year’s CSW is “Achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change\, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes”. The Baha’i International Community (BIC)  has submitted a formal written statement to the CSW on this theme\, titled “The Heart of Resilience: The Climate Crisis as a Catalyst for a Culture of Equality”. This event aims to engage participants in conversation and facilitate their reactions to the themes of the statement\, particularly around how much humanity benefits when women’s leadership is promoted at every level of society\, and how the challenges posed by climate change should serve as catalysts to embrace new approaches to inclusive forms of governance as well as just patterns of community life capable of unlocking the whole range of human experience. \n  \nFormat \nThe dialogue will be held during the UN Commission on the Status of Women \nWednesday 16 March 2021 \n12.00pm to 2.00pm EDT \nLink to the event on the NGO CSW Virtual Platform \nRegister your profile on the NGO CSW Virtual Platform

SUMMARY:Ecocide: A Discussion of Law and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Ecocide: A Discussion of Law and Ethics\nThursday\, January 20\, 2022\nVIRTUAL EVENT\n9 a.m. Los Angeles | 12 p.m. New York & Quito | 6 p.m. The Hague \nREGISTER TODAY \nMass environmental devastation affects us all\, even if the damage is inflicted within national borders. Yet as it stands today international law is inadequate to address extreme\, willful damage to the environment. \nNow\, a global effort is underway to make international law a more powerful mechanism to protect our planet. In June 2021\, the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide defined ecocide as the “unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.” \nThis definition is an initial step to making ecocide an international crime. At present\, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court lists four international crimes: genocide\, crimes against humanity\, war crimes and the crime of aggression. Recognizing ecocide as the fifth would create\, in the Panel’s words\, “a new and practical legal tool” to preserve and protect the Earth\, our common home. \n\nLeft to right: Hugo Echeverria\, Kate Mackintosh\, Olivia Swaak-Goldman\, Karenna Gore \nOn Thursday\, January 20\, 2022\, at noon (New York time)\, “Ecocide: A Discussion of Law and Ethics” will assemble international lawyers and scholars to discuss the Panel’s efforts to define ecocide as well as to examine the significance of shifting to an eco-centric framework. \nScheduled speakers include attorney and consultant Hugo Echeverria\, an expert in the environmental rule of law\, wildlife crime\, and the rights of Nature; Kate Mackintosh\, inaugural executive director of the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA School of Law and a deputy chair of the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide; and Olivia Swaak-Goldman\, executive director of the Wildlife Justice Commission\, who  has published extensively on international criminal law and humanitarian law. Karenna Gore\, CEE’s founder and executive director\, organized the session and will serve as moderator. \nThis event is sponsored by the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary\, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School\, the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA School of Law\, and the Wildlife Justice Commission. \nREGISTER TODAY \nPhoto by attplit on Unsplash

SUMMARY:"The Ants and the Grasshopper" Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Earth Ethics\, Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and the Kairos Center will co-host a screening of new documentary by Raj Patel called “The Ants and the Grasshopper.”  REGISTER \nThe film follows Anita Chitaya of Malawi as she goes to the US Midwest\, and communities of color in Detroit and the White House. She sparks discourse about climate (and food justice\, gender\, race\, etc) along the way\, including using her Biblical fluency to talk to climate skeptics. This is intention from Raj Patel: \nAs the COP26 climate summit approaches in November\, we very much hope that communities of people of faith are able to heed the call for justice\, and that this film might serve as the basis for taking action.  \nA panel discussion will follow moderated by EDS at Union’s Dean Kelly Brown Douglas. \n \n

SUMMARY:Water and Spirituality for Climate Adaptation: UNFCC COP 26
DESCRIPTION:Water and Spirituality for Climate Adaptation: A Community WebinarTuesday\, October 197 a.m. New York | 1 p.m. CEST \nREGISTER \nWhat does a spiritual view on climate challenges look like?

All societies and religions have developed visions\, rituals and practices related to water. Despite this water-related cultural heritage\, its significance for present and future climate challenges is not widely recognized\, because of the complexity of our relations with water and disciplinary and institutional divides between water managers and heritage experts. \nThe dialogue aims to initiate a converation among spiritual leaders in advance of the UN Water Decade Midterm Review in New York in 2023. \nThe program (subject to change) includes the following: \n\nModerator: Sergio Ribeiro\, Director General of CIRAT\, Brazil\, and Board Member of ICOMOS ISC Water\nA vision on adaptation to climate change in the Laudato si’\, the second encyclical of Pope Francis: Maria Hammershoy\, Secretary General\, Caritas Denmark\nA vision on adaptation to climate change: Austin Núñez\, Leader of the Wa:k Community\, San Xavier District of the Tohono O’odham Nation near Tucson\, Arizona\, USA and Mona Polacca\, Native American Spiritual Elder: Hopi\, Tewa\, Havasupai traditions\, Arizona\, USA\nA vision on adaptation to climate change: Valériane Bernard\, Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University UN Representative\nA vision on adaptation to climate change – A Buddhist Perspective: Dharma Master Hsin Tao\, Founding Abbot of the Ling Jiou Mountain Buddhist Society and founder of the Museum of World Religions\nA vision on adaptation to climate change – Iberê Guarani Mbyá\, Leadership\, Guanary People\, Brazil\nA vision on adaptation to climate change – Sister Marvie Misolas\, Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic’s\nReflection on the dialogue by representative of the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\n\nThe dialogue aims to initiate a conversation among spiritual leaders to inspire the UN Water Decade Midterm Review to be held in New York in 2023. It is organized by the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Water and Heritage\, or ISC Water\, which bridges these divides through dialogues among political\, professional and spiritual leaders\, interdisciplinary research\, collecting and disseminating best practices\, and developing guidance. \nREGISTER \n \n

SUMMARY:Indigenous Water Ethics: A Traditional Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue conducted in a traditional way highlighting voices of Indigenous perspectives on water ethics. REGISTER \nWater is fundamental to all life on Earth. Protecting water is essential for ecosystem restoration\, biodiversity\, food justice and calming the climate crisis. As we seek to build frameworks for regenerative systems\, Indigenous peoples—who already safeguard water and hold ancestral knowledge and cultural practices necessary to support that work—deserve a place at the center. \nJoin the Center for Earth Ethics on Thursday\, October 7\, at noon Eastern Time\, for a webinar\, “Indigenous Water Ethics: A Traditional Dialogue.” Mona Polacca\, senior fellow for CEE’s Original Caretakers Program\, has assembled representatives of different Indigenous cultures to present their diverse perspectives and lived experiences stabilizing\, protecting and creating resiliency for their communities’ water sources. \nREGISTER\n\nConvener:\nMona Polacca is the senior fellow for the Original Caretakers Program at the Center for Earth Ethics. She is an educator and facilitator whose knowledge\, empathy and values motivate others to speak and act. She has a special interest in older people and youth\, and has led or participated in many effective initiatives related to Indigenous water issues and culturally appropriate health treatments for Native Americans. \nMona is a longtime active participant in the United Nations Permanent Forum of Indigenous Peoples Issues and has been invited to speak in global forums and assist in drafting declarations. In December 2008\, Mona had the distinguished honor of being the representative of the Indigenous Peoples on a panel of world religious leaders. These panelists drafted and signed a statement\, “Faith in Human Rights\,” in commemoration of the 60th Year of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In May 2013\, she and others presented an intervention at the UNPFII\, “A Call for the Indigenous World Forum on Water & Peace.” Her efforts have included providing support to First Nations to build capacity to take action on climate change\, build sustainable communities\, protect lands and waters\, and  conserve biodiversity. \n  \nSpeakers include:\n \nRāwiri Tinirau is of Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi descent\, and has genealogical connections to several hapū (extended family groupings) and iwi (collections of hapū) who have connections with and interests in the Whanganui River. He is co-director of Te Atawhai o Te Ao\, a Māori research institute focused on health and environmental research\, as well as deputy chair of Ngā Tāngata Tiaki o Whanganui\, the post settlement governance entity for the Whanganui River settlement. Rāwiri serves on a number of governance and advisory boards\, and has several interests\, including Māori community development\, performing arts\, education and Māori business and economic development. In his spare time\, he likes to spend time in and on the Whanganui River. \n  \n  \n \nAustin Nunez is the Chairman of the Wa:k – San Xavier District of the Tohono O’odham Nation located in the arid Sonoran Desert region of southwestern Arizona\, with a population of 2\,300. He will present a case-study about a 23-year legal challenge to regain his tribe’s inherent water rights. “Our once flowing river and underground water sources for the land base of our 27\,000-acre reservation were compromised due to the over pumping of our aquifer by the non-Indigenous settlers as they started to drill ground water wells beginning in the late 1800’s. The challenge started in 1975\, in the end\, an out of court settlement was reached granting us 50\,000 acre feet per year of Colorado River water\, via an approximately 300-mile pipeline\, and 10\,000 acre feet of natural groundwater per year and were awarded a cash settlement to rehabilitate our farm. Our story needs to be told to provide lessons learned\, and to instill hope in other similarly situated indigenous communities throughout the world.” \n  \n \nGaeñ hia uh\, Betty Lyons (Onondaga Nation\, Snipe Clan)\, executive director of the American Indian Law Alliance (AILA)\, is an Indigenous and environmental activist and citizen of the Onondaga Nation. She serves as a member of the Haudenosaunee External Relations Committee and has been an active participant at the annual United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues since the first session in 2001 as a delegate of the Onondaga Nation. Betty continues to work for the protection of Indigenous peoples who are fighting to protect their traditions\, territories\, resources\, and care for Mother Earth. Out of her concern for Indigenous peoples and Mother Earth\, Betty serves on numerous boards like: 4 The Future Foundation\, Connie Hogarth Center\, Center for Earth Ethics\, The MOST\, Skä•noñh- Great Law of Peace Center Academic Collaborative\, and is Co-Chair of the Center of Earth Ethics Advisory Board. \n

SUMMARY:Global Inter-faith Dialogue on Food Systems
DESCRIPTION:02 September from 16:00 to 18:00\, East African Time\, 9:00 AM Eastern Time \nRegister \nAccess to healthy\, nutritious food is a human right and yet it remains out of reach for far too many. In this Decade of Action\, there is much to do and it will require new partnerships and coalitions of actors who believe we can overcome the challenges in front of us. This global dialogue will focus on building and strengthening the coalitions between faith and secular groups to achieve our common goals. \nThe Food Systems Summit is being organized by the Secretary General of the United Nations this fall. Members of civil society and governments from around the world are asked to contribute. This Global Inter-Faith Dialogue on September 2nd builds on a series of dialogues hosted by the Faith + Food Coalition partners in May and June of 2021. The coalition convened faith and wisdom keepers alongside those working at the intersection of food systems and policy development. \nHow can the role of faith and food in our lives better inform policies and prioritize implementation of regenerative practices that nourish our bodies and heal our earth instead of increasing harm? We are excited to be contributing interfaith\, cross-sector dialogues to the food systems conversation. You can learn more about the Food Systems Summit here. \nRegister for September 2nd Dialogue
