As experts gathered in Glasgow for the UN Climate Change Conference in late 2021, their message to the world was that there is an urgent need for humanity to change the way we live on the Earth and to find creative solutions to lower carbon emissions globally. We need to act as individuals, communities, and nations.
The Anglican Diocese of Ottawa is bringing together experts to educate and inspire action in the third installment of an online lecture series that commemorates the 125th anniversary of the Diocese and looks forward to the future with hope.
