Care for our Common Home and COP26

At Edmund Rice England we have continued to engage our schools and communities with climate action. We were delighted to present at PRATYEK’s recent ERth Summit on the subject of student advocacy and COP26 and that the UK was represented by two keen activists, Tom and Harvey from St Anselm’s College. https://www.st-anselms.com/115/social-media/article/1034/erth-summit-30th-september-2nd-october?fbclid=IwAR0ihg52Heq1siUS1lnDavPLzDecQ5_Svus0JqoTuIdVs56xJqRjAFj_BiE

We are also preparing an official statement from Edmund Rice schools for Conference of Youth16 which precedes and feeds into COP26. English schools have been joined by Edmund Rice schools in the US, Uruguay, the Centro Manolo in Bolivia, and 2 schools in India to prepare their statement. the statement covers our concerns for the environment locally and nationally as well as precise demands from the leaders and policy makers at COP26. The full statement ill be available publicly to read in both Spanish and English.

The office also continues to create and publish the Edmund Rice Family Global Journey to COP26, contributed to by the regional spirituality team as well as ERI. it is chance for the whole global community to join a common lifestyle change , a campaign action and a common reflection about the Earth.
