Come zoom a report back from two Mainers who participated in COP26.
Reverend Richard Killmer, an official observer at COP26, will give the history of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. He will give his understanding of what happened at COP26. What were the successes? What were the disappointments? Having attended 5 COPs, he will have much to share with our community about Climate Justice and making peace with the earth. Keeping our hearts "in it" for the long haul! He will field questions after his talk. (PPH LTE) Here is his recent Portland Press Herald piece. FMI: The Climate Witness Project
