WEBINAR RECORDING – click HERE
This webinar will explore how the coronavirus crisis and the environmental crisis are related, and how regional approaches to a just transition to integral ecology could be developed.
It will contribute to informing, connecting and mobilising people of goodwill in relation to a Just Transition in Europe, and importantly – to Europe’s responsibilities for a Just Transition globally.
On the occasion of Season of Creation, as a time for reflection, prayer and action, it will contribute to create an understanding of engagement in public affairs as an answer to Pope Francis call to hear ‘the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor’.
