Presented By: Ben Lowe

Event: 2019 ECHO International Agriculture Conference (19.11.2019)

Session : Many of the most vulnerable human communities around the world are located in some of the most vulnerable or degraded ecosystems. As the impacts of climate and environmental change continue to grow, how can we flourish together on God’s earth without further harming each other or the rest of creation? This is a defining challenge facing the world today. It is also directly relevant to the church and our work in international development. This session will explore why we cannot ignore climate and environmental problems, and how Christian groups around the world are faithfully addressing these growing challenges.
