November Global Community Hour: Extractivism and the Environment

We are pleased to invite you to JCoR’s Global Community Hour on Friday, 8 November 2024, from 7:00-8:00am (Guatemala City, Mexico City) / 8:00-9:00am (New York, Bogotá, Havana, Lima) / 10:00-11:00am (Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires) / 3:00-4:00pm (Central Africa time) / 6:30-7:30pm (India Standard time). This meeting is part of a series of monthly online gatherings for Religious from around the globe to come together in prayer for our world and to shine a light on the most pressing justice issues emerging in your respective nations and regions.

As we approach the 29th Session of the Conference of Parties on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), also known as the UN Climate Change Conference, we recognize the negative effects of mining and extractive industries on the environment and how the degradation of our environment exacerbates climate change and its ramifications. Therefore, we are especially inviting individuals to share experiences with the environmental impacts of mining and extractivism. As usual, all voices and justice concerns are welcome in this communal space.

Sisters, Brothers, priests, lay associates, and partners in mission are all welcome! English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish interpretation will be available. Click here to register. Please contact communications@jcor2030.org with any questions.

We will convene in this manner on the second Friday of each month. We hope you and your members will join us on Friday, 8 November and for future “Global Community Hour” gatherings!
