The Ecology of Resilience

The course will provide basic literacy in climate science and case studies of impacts, but it focuses on an understanding of the drivers of human behavior that are shaping our shared biosphere. Recognizing that the climate crisis is about more than data, science, and technology (as important as they are), Climate Ethics explores how to draw from values, culture, and spirituality to heal and protect the life-support system of the Earth.

This program is a community exploration of what we’re feeling and holding in these times, with the intention of deepening our individual and collective capacity for wise and committed response. We will honour our deep love for the earth, expressing that love through engagement, care and the willingness to show up.

The program will feature Mercy Sister Rosita Sidasmed of Argentina and Franciscan Rodrigo Peret of Brazil sharing the priorities for climate justice coming out of the Global South and how civil society hopes to influence the formal negotiations.
