“Climate Sanity from Paris to Marrakesh & Beyond, With a Few Bumps Along the Road”  

Sunday, December 11

8:45 am coffee/tea and bagels                                      Dialog begin at 9 am.

1475 West Front Street, Lincroft              Unitarian meetinghouse

UUCMC Climate Change Action Team: Lynn Dash, convener

Part of the Dialog series (secular Sun am talks) at the meetinghouse      http://www.uucmc.org/grow/sunday-morning-dialog/

In recognition of the first anniversary of the UN Paris Climate agreement, our congregation’s CCAT discusses updates on climate impacts and international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, from the Paris agreement of Dec. 12, 2015 to Marrakech in Nov. 2016.  We’ll include participation by UUs as credentialed observers at UN talks and advocates at the national level, and we’ll address the prospects for continuing momentum in the face of powerful deniers in the recent election.

UUCMC members, compelled by the moral, ethical and survival imperative to act on climate change, formed a climate-specific action group as part of our Social Action Committee. CCAT acts to increase awareness of climate change and to work toward solutions within and outside of our congregational walls. We have representation on the national UU-UNO/Commit2Respond Climate Action Team network as well as the Monmouth Community Climate Coalition.
