Live from COP27 in Egypt

MNIPL’s Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos is attending the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. She joins a global community of young people who are bringing a moral and fervent voice to these proceedings.

This is the first COP held on the African continent since 2016, and the first with substantive conversations about loss and damage on the agenda. The questions are not just about financially measured losses from climate change, but how do we in the global north bear responsibility and repair the harm from loss of life, loss of culture, loss of indigenous land.

Of urgent concern is supporting the creation of a public and grant funded finance facility. The global majority is clamoring for this democratically rooted funding mechanism. We have been working hard to make sure the US makes this happen in 2022

At this webinar on November 16, hear first-hand accounts live from Egypt. Learn what’s happening on the ground, what communities of faith and conscience are doing, and ways you can be engaged with this global human rights issue.
