Last November, Development and Peace – Caritas Canada sent a delegation to the UN Climate Summit held in Belém, Brazil.
Our objectives were to advocate for a positive agenda for climate action, hear from our numerous partners present at the summit, and join together with other catholic actors around the world for ecological justice.
Dean Dettloff, Research and Advocacy Officer, and Raphael Freston, animator for British Columbia and the Yukon were privileged to be present for the full ten days of negotiation at COP30 and at the People’s Summit, organized by grassroot social movements.
They are hosting this event to report back to our members on what went down and to discuss where we can go from here.
When: Saturday, March 7, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PST
Where: in-person at St. Augustine Parish (2028 W 7th Ave, Vacouver)
