SUMMARY:The global debt crisis and the role of private creditors
DESCRIPTION:Sharing responsibilities as well as benefits? The global debt crisis and the role of private creditors \nThe results of the G20 initiatives to relieve the debt of the Global South\, which has been hard hit economically by the pandemic\, are sobering. Many eligible countries are reluctant to enter into negotiations. They fear that debt relief will cut off their long-term access to private capital markets and cause them to lose the confidence of private investors. These concerns have been reinforced by creditors\, especially from the private sector. And the G20? Despite its commitment to private sector participation in the Common Framework for Debt Treatments\, it has so far not found the political will to make such participation mandatory. However\, this would be a key step to shield debtor countries from uncooperative creditors and achieve substantial debt relief. \nIn the run-up to the joint meeting of G20 health and finance ministers this October we have invited international experts from academia\, government\, and financial institutions to discuss the following questions among others: \n\nIs there empirical evidence that debt relief excludes countries from much-needed development finance?\nOn what grounds could the participation from the private sector in official debt relief initiatives\, comparable to other creditors\, be expected?\nIn what ways can the G20 compel private sector participation and equal burden-sharing?\n\nFurther event details will be forthcoming\, but please stay apprised of updates here: https://ny.fes.de/ \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Financing for Development\, please visit ngosonffd.org.

SUMMARY:Remembering Past Massacres: Honoring the Legacy & Resilience of the Victims
DESCRIPTION:Dear ecumenical friends\, \nThe WCC/CCIA (Commission of the Churches on International Affairs) series of regional webinars focussing on REMEMBERING PAST MASSACRES: HONORING THE LEGACY AND RESILIENCE OF THE VICTIMS will take us this time to the Pacific. We hope you’ll join us! Please share in your networks. \nDate: Monday 18 October 2021 \nTime: 9:00 – 10:30 AM CEST (i.e. 8AM Lagos\, Nigeria / 2PM Bangkok\, Thailand / 7 PM Suva\, Fiji / 8PM Nakualofa\, Tonga) \nSpeakers: \n\nRev. James Bhagwan\, General Secretary\, Pacific Conference of Churches\nDanity Laukon\, University of the South Pacific Marshall Islands\nTaaitulagi Tuioti\, Methodist Church in Samoa\nRev. Billy Wetewea\, Protestant Church of Kanaky New Caledonia\n\nRegister here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_auNIo99OSg2-BSipSLGTMA \nLearn more via Twitter or Facebook. \nObjectives of the webinar: \nThis series of regional webinars is organized by the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs (CCIA) of the World Council of Churches (WCC) in collaboration with the WCC Spiritual Life. It is part of the many virtual events organised this year to mark the 75th anniversary of the CCIA. Realizing that several of these massacres have lost relevance over the years\, or are simply forgotten\, the purpose of these regional webinars is to reflect on how these fallen heroes and heroines are remembered and honoured today. Each webinar will be a moment of lament and will explore among others\, the following questions: \n\nHow do we recognised these tragedies\, and celebrate the survival\, resistance\, resilience\, and heroes of these communities?\nHow do we honour their martyrdom?\nWhat is done to prevent them from falling into amnesia or denial?\nHow do we memorialise these tragedies?\nHow do we transcend these past massacres and move towards healing?\nHow do we ensure that future generations learn from the past\, ensuring that history will not be repeated?\nWhat of reparations to descendants of these victims?\nAre monuments sufficient even though they can be perceived as a reminder of trauma\, and as memorials of symbolic reparations?\n\nWe offer these regional webinars in the hope that we will be empowered to elicit a promise and a pledge to ensure the non-recurrence of such human atrocities even as we celebrate the legacy of those who have survived these massacres. \nDates of regional webinars: \n\n27 August 2021: Africa\n27 September 2021: Spanish-speaking Americas\n11 October 2021: Asia\n18 October 2021: Pacific\n18 November 2021: Middle-East\n6 December 2021: Europe\n\n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.

SUMMARY:Faiths 4 Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:Two weeks before global climate negotiations\, people of diverse religions will rise to send a message: destroying the planet is against our religions. \nLearn more and register here! \nOn Sunday\, Oct. 17: \nAt temples\, mosques\, and churches around the globe\, we’ll call for climate justice and care for the vulnerable by ringing our bells\, singing\, praying\, meditating\, calling the Azan\, sounding the shofar – whatever is true to our tradition. We’ll also unfurl banners on our sacred buildings that make it clear: the time to act is now. \nOn Monday\, Oct. 18: \nDressed in religious garb\, we’ll take our faiths into the streets and to our leaders’ doorsteps.  We’ll deliver our demands to political and financial leaders\, hold prayer or meditation vigils outside government and bank offices\, sing hymns about the climate\, or take action rooted in our deepest values. \n*Co-sponsors are religious organizations and spiritual communities worldwide who publicize Faiths 4 Climate Justice to their communities. We invite diverse religious institutions\, congregations\, schools\, and other groups to sign on as co-sponsors. Co-sponsors commit to recruit action hosts and participants for the global day of action and organize 1 or more local actions. We provide co-sponsors with tools\, resources\, and one-on-one support for recruitment and action organizing. Co-sponsors\, if interested\, can serve on a planning team in preparation for the mobilization. \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.
