On the way to eco-justice

November 29, 2011 in Ecological Justice, LWF together - the earth needs you

How can we get closer to ecological justice? Just asking this questions is not enough for 32 young Christians gathering in Durban, South Africa, since Sunday. They are part of Youth for Eco-Justice (or Y4EJ), a program jointly organized by the World Council of Churches and the Lutheran World Federation.

The training aims at empowering the young participants and their communities to get even stronger in their efforts to achieve more justice among human beings and between humanity and nature. The participants use events around the Durban Climate Change Summit (COP 17 of UNFCC) to learn more and then to plan concrete actions for their home contexts.

For the 8 Lutheran participants it is at the same time the conclusion of the 2011 LWF together - the earth needs you.
