What a pleasure to be on this panel on “Climate Justice” at COP25 in Madrid, Spain.

I discussed how racism, colonialism, empire, white privilege, sexuality, ableism, classism all intersect and influence climate change.

I am inspired by those on the panel to share how #intersectionality can be used to address and demand for #climatejustice during this pivotal moment in time. #COP25 #WCC

My new edited book, Making Peace with the Earth: Action and Advocacy for Climate Justice (WCC) is now available.

This project started 2 years at the World Council of Churches (WCC) working group on climate change in Germany. It appeared to be an easy enough project until I realize that having contributors around the world was going to be a challenge.

This difficult task of putting together a book with contributors from around the world was overcome by the wonderful help of the WCC editor, Michael West. To him I am greatly indebted.
