I am excited about attending the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco.

COP22 is an important meeting as we are faced with climate change and environmental crisis. Much needs to be done as religious groups and government bodies try to work towards climate justice. I am happy to be part of the World Council of Churches’ delegation to COP22. The World Council of Churches puts a high priority on the work of climate justice and creation care.
