Operation Noah Annual Supporters Meeting 2011: report

06/06/2011

June 2011: On 6th June, we held our Annual Supporters Meeting followed by special seminar 'The Climate Crisis: Why is nothing Happening? A Social, Political and Moral Perspective on Obstacles to Action'.

The seminar was led by Lynn McDonald, University Professor Emerita at the University of Guelph, & former member of the Canadian Parliament; a Director of the Climate Action Network of Canada; Co-founder of JustEarth, a Coalition for Environmental Justice addressing obstacles to action on climate change, lobbying MP’s,and publishing regular political leaders with an action-oriented message. An Anglican, Lynn works with a small group within the Canadian church to urge Church leaders to take on the issue of climate change. This led to a strong resolution being adopted at its last general synod.
