War and the Climate Crisis

February 6 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

How does war fuel the climate crisis and how does the intensifying climate crisis risk increasing global conflict?

How are people in conflict zones rendered more vulnerable to climate and environmental disasters?

 

Following a presentation addressing these questions we will work as a group to explore how we, individually and collectively, can respond to the challenging times we are living in with integrity, courage and care for each other and all of life.
