The Fourth Jewish Climate Action Conference will focus on how we can work together to make necessary systemic change. Our goal is to inspire participants of all faiths by highlighting ongoing successful collaborative efforts, and to offer strategies for living a resilient and hopeful life in these troubled times.
The activism of the Jewish Climate Action Network of Massachusetts is rooted in the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam (repair of the world) and Shomrei Adamah (guardians of the earth). We invite the participation of anyone who holds these same values, regardless of faith. And if we’re going to reach our global climate goals by 2050, we need everyone to do the work right now.
Between the climate crisis and current world situation, there has never been a more challenging time to work together—which means our work is that much more necessary.
This will be a hybrid event, allowing local activists to gather together along with others from across the country for the purpose of strengthening community. In keeping with intersections among themes and topics, sessions will be presented by secular and Jewish climate organizations, synagogue green teams, interfaith leaders, individuals, teens and young adults, indigenous nations, and others interested in sharing their voices.
