THE CONPENHAGEN CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE December 7 - 18 |
Here at the Generalate, our two communities have decided to join together for a special time of prayer before and during the Copenhagen Conference on climate Change…
We do this because we care about this beautiful planet that God has given us, and as women inspired by the Gospel and by our Corporate Commitment:
Moved by our passion for God’s reign, to discern the calls of the Spirit in the signs of the times, especially:(…)
by being alert to all that destroys and threatens the life of our planet, to work as a body, in close collaboration with the members of our Family and with others to ensure sustainability
by taking action, locally and globally, for the transformation of situations and structures that hinder communion.
If you have access to the internet, there is so much information available on the
Copenhagen Conference… What follows is a bare minimum:
"In 2012 the Kyoto Protocol to prevent climate changes and global warming runs out. There is an urgent need for a new climate protocol. At the conference in Copenhagen 2009 the parties of the UNFCCC meet for the last time on government level before the climate agreement needs to be renewed.
Therefore the Climate Conference in
Copenhagen is essential for the world's climate. The Danish government and UNFCCC is putting hard effort in making the meeting in Copenhagen a success ending up with a Copenhagen Protocol to prevent global warming and climate changes.
Governmental representatives from 170 countries are expected to be in
Copenhagen in the days of the conference accompanied by other governmental representatives, NGO's, journalists and others. In total 8000 people are expected in Copenhagen in the days of the climate meeting"
