The Friends World Committee on Consultation World Plenary took place in South Africa from August 5-12th this year. As part of the programming and testimony given by Friends globally, QUNO Geneva Interim Deputy Director and Representative for the Human Impacts of Climate Change, Lindsey Fielder Cook, contributed personal reflection by video recording on the theme of ‘care for creation’. Lindsey’s powerful statement provides an overview of QUNO’s work on climate and its ties to deeply rooted Quaker values. Her call to action reflects Friends concerns for intergenerational equity and advocates for solutions that are globally just, addressing the root causes of a climate crisis based on imbalances of money and power.
