SACRU Webinar "Climate Crisis and Security"

"Climate Crisis and Security" is the theme of the next webinar organized by the Strategic Alliance of Catholic Research Universities (SACRU), of which UCP is a founding member, taking place on November 23rd, from 6 a.m. to 7.30 a.m. (Lisbon Time).

It has now become clear that the climate crisis has consequences that inform the security agenda. Increasingly turbulent weather systems causing flooding, disease, famine and large-scale migration have disrupted established codes of conduct and are giving rise to major conflicts.

This webinar addresses the security implications posed by the climate crisis. Through open dialogue framed by key themes of vulnerability and solidarity, the speakers will explore how the climate crisis can be a stimulus to bring our world closer together rather than allowing it to drive us further apart.
 

The event organized by the alliance is part of the broader series "Integral Ecology and the future of the planet: interdisciplinary conversations,” and will feature the participation of:

• Peter Loy Chong, Archbishop of Suva and President of the Federation of Catholic Bishops’ Conferences of Oceania
• Paolo Conversi, Pontifical Gregorian University and Pontifical Lateran University
• Kathryn Baragwanath, Australian Catholic University (ACU)
• Augustine Sali, Sophia University
• Jacqui Remond (moderator), ACU

The webinar is open for students, academics, and the general public.
