Because of my faith: Climate Action Driven by Faith

This practical workshop at Sida will deep dive into faith-based climate action. It will be led by Ethiopian grassroots country director, Tagele Matteows. This is a Stockholm+50 associated event. Light breakfast will be served.

Starting with an opening by Archbishop Dr Thomas Schirrmacher, Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), the theological discussion of how the faith guides ecological protection and climate action will be framed. The workshop will then be led by Tagele Matteows, Country Director or YBCEDO, LM International’s local Ethiopian partner organisation.

Tagele will give first-hand experience and impact of YBCEDO’s decades of climate action and mobilisation work, and give practical insights on how bible scripture frames their climate action. This session will help those in faith traditions better leverage faith literacy for accelerated change and climate action
