Join 120 groups in 35 countries to mark the 6 month anniversary of Paris Climate accords at the Sacred Earth, Sacred TrustMountain this Sunday, June 12th.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1.5°C & 2°C OF WARMING MEANS EVERYTHING
The adopted Paris Agreement is an incredible first step, but much of what we have achieved hangs in balance.
The current commitments to reduce emissions condemn us to an extremely dangerous 2.7°C increase. And the goal governments gave themselves is still fixed around 2°C.
But scientific experts & spiritual leaders are arguing for a vital push for 1.5°C as a true upper limit.
This seemingly small difference would prevent well over 100 million people from losing their homes due to droughts, floods, sea level rise and devastating storms.
In the face of this sobering reality, we need to continue the push for 1.5°C to keep hope alive.
If you're in Western North Carolina join the Creation Care Alliance of WNC on June 12 at 2:00 PM for a multi faith Sacred Earth, Sacred Trust ritual, reflection and relationship with nature at Swannanoa Valley Friends Meeting, 137 Center Avenue in Black Mountain. Learn more about Creation Care Alliance at creati...@mountaintrue.org.
If you're not able to join us in Black Mountain, please consider spending Some time in observance of this global event on Sunday. Learn more at SacredEarth2016.org.
