The Advocates for Social Justice Special Collection on August 20 will support efforts led by Community Organizer and fellow Unitarian Universalist Jacob Johns to organize a delegation of indigenous wisdom keepers and activists from all over the world. This delegation aims to address climate change on a global level at this year’s Conference of the Parties (COP), the decision-making body that monitors and reviews the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Our donations will help incorporate diverse perspectives and traditions into contemporary climate policy and help ensure that the valuable perspectives of indigenous communities are given the attention and respect they deserve.
