British Quaker Amanda Woolley, member of Totnes Meeting in Devon, shares her experience of attending an online global gathering for Climate Justice, organised by the civil society COP26 Coalition.
“As COP 26 in Glasgow had been postponed till next year, grassroots social justice and environmental organisations – which would otherwise have been there to lobby and campaign – instead took this time together to build solidarity and experience.
This international conference-from-home wove itself into the fabric of daily life, set amongst the backdrop of nature on my own doorstep and a timely thread from a Devon Quaker Area Meeting session reflecting on ways we respond to the politics of our times.”
