Candles for COP27: Vigil for Climate Justice

KNOX UNITED CHURCH, BRANDON
VIGIL FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

KAIROS/ FOR THE LOVE OF CREATION /

Join us in-person or live stream.
From November 6th-18th of this year, world leaders will gather at the COP27 conference in Egypt to discuss their plans to address global heating. Despite increasingly clear evidence of the climate emergency, leaders across the world and particularly in Canada are failing to take the decisive action needed to protect our world, and particularly the most vulnerable members of the global community. Canada has yet to reduce our national emissions, our government continues to approve and subsidize new fossil fuel infrastructure, and we are falling behind in our commitments to fund energy transitions in less developed countries. This cannot continue.
In recognition of the need for change, Knox United Church in Brandon with the help of the Outreach Committee and the Green Team is going to hold a Candlelight Vigil for Climate Change. This will be a time to reflect and share our love for our planet, our concern for ourselves and our fellow human beings at risk from climate change, and our hopes for truly transformative action to happen at COP27 and through each other. We will share brief messages from delegates attending COP27 from Canada and the Global South.
So join us on Sunday, November 13 from 6-7pm at Knox United Church or through the livestream at: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheKnoxKonnexion
