On Monday night February 14, at 7:30 pm, Kendal will present its own Nick Robinson who will talk on “Negotiating Earthcare.”
Mother Earth needs more than just Valentines today. The UN Secretary- General says, “Humanity is waging war on nature. This is senseless and suicidal.” Pathways for “making peace with nature” do exist.
Through the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), governments took actions to reverse environmental degradation at the World Conservation Congress in France last September, followed by UN conferences in China on biodiversity and in Scotland on climate change. A crucial UN Environment Assembly convenes on February 28 in Kenya. A lot is at stake.
Nick Robinson participated in person in the IUCN Congress and virtually in the other meetings. He will take stock of what has been achieved since he attended the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment, what was decided last fall, and what lies ahead.
His theme: how to translate our “Love of Nature” into transformative “Earthcare” by governments and individuals.
Don’t miss this timely talk in the Gathering Room on Monday at 7:30 pm.
