INVITATION

Informal Interfaith Gathering in the Spirit of Talanoa Dialogue 

UNFCCC COP24, December 2, in Katowice


Introduction

The 24th Conference of Parties (COP 24) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Katowice, Poland, is a crucial moment for governments to adopt the guidelines for the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement. COP 24 must deliver a road map for meeting the ambitious target of capping global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

As members of faith communities, we believe that we have made significant contributions in addressing the immense challenges posed by climate change through advocacy, mobilisation, capacity building and education. While gathering around the COP 24, it will be good for us to have a moment of sharing together.

We invite all faith-oriented participants of COP24 to participate in this informal gathering.

It is also a space where each person is welcome to express his or herself on various issues relevant to addressing the challenges of climate change. The methodology is based on the Talanoa Dialogue and will address the following questions:

What we aim to organise: 

• A nourishing, hopeful and strengthening event for climate justice advocates before the COP

• An event to prepare for the COP, including spiritual nourishment

• A space to share our experiences, views and knowledge on issues related to climate change 

• A space of holistic reflection regarding climate change and its links and connections to other concerns

• A space to look at solutions from different angles

• A space for faith-based and civil society actors


What we will do: 

• A short panel to expose the different topics that will be available for conversation (25 min)

• Small-group Talanoa sharing where participants will be able to exchange perspectives and thoughts (40 min)
