We speak with United Church Minister Deb Walker about her attendance at the COP 28 Climate Conference in Dubai. 85,0000 people attended the event, which was held in a country often referred to as a Petrol State.
Deb’s attendance was officially as a Faith Observer as a part of the Christian Climate Observers Program. Deb is informed on the issues around climate change and outlines the hope she felt at the conference in the midst of some of the most important challenges of our time.
Deb mentions many organizations and programs related to ecology, environmentalism, and activism during our conversation.
If you’re interested in looking into some of these yourself, here are the resources Deb spoke to us about:
