Today, we gathered on Zoom to hear first-hand experiences from the recent Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Conference in Santa Marta, Colombia. The event was facilitated by Sr. Ann Pratt, our United Nations Representative, who guided a conversation on how faith communities can drive real climate action.

Our first speaker, Lisa Sullivan from the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns, shared the incredible backstory of the Santa Marta conference. Organized by just two countries with no official budget, the event was built entirely on grassroots solidarity. Lisa highlighted how various faith groups united to launch a joint statement, noting that fossil fuel entities thrive when we are divided. Ultimately, she reminded us that climate change is not just a technical problem, but a profound moral and human crisis.

Fr. Rohan Dominic, coordinator of the Claretian NGO at UN, took us behind the scenes to discuss the conference's key disussion points, tensions, next steps, and broader agenda. He challenged us to look at what faith-based organizations can do next, reminding us that we must serve as the conscience of this movement.

Thank you to all who joined us today!
