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.

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.

SUMMARY:Stand up for Rights of Older Persons
DESCRIPTION:Violations of older persons’ human rights have been witnessed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Decades long implicit biases rooted in ageism have made older people invisible through lack of insightful policies that protect their rights. As the world’s population ages\, the trends of human rights violations will undermine the fabric of society and its prosperity. \nThe United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) seeks to create an environment that enables older people to do what they value\, where no one is left behind\, left to languish\, or be disregarded and patronized\, be stopped from working or have access to basic health and care. In order to overcome the paucity of progress on drafting a legally binding document (a convention) on the human rights of older persons\, the United States and Canada need to STAND UP as global leaders in the effort to Call for Action at the United Nations. \nRegister here! \nThis event is organized by the NGO Committee on Ageing-NY\, the International Longevity Center of Canada\, the International Federation on Ageing\, the Global Alliance for the Rights of Older People\, and the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics. \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Ageing-NY\, a Substantive Committee of the Committee of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations\, please visit ngocoa-ny.org.

SUMMARY:Preventing and Addressing Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) as a Tool of War
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\, \nSearch for Common Ground invites you to join us for a UNGA side-event focused on conflict-related sexual violence as a mechanism of war. This event is hosted in collaboration with the Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues and the Georgetown Institute for Women\, Peace\, and Security.  Against the backdrop of events transpiring in Afghanistan\, this panel discussion seeks to showcase the imperative need to prevent and address conflict-related sexual violence around the world\, to promote the safety\, security\, and prosperity of all people. \nThe panel will cover historic and present-day examples of CRSV; policy and programming approaches to preventing and addressing CRSV; and lessons learned from civil society representatives in conflict-affected countries on the impact of CRSV interventions. \nPlease use the following link to register: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUlc-ChpzwtEt171qKG-jP4sgpcZViJVUf2 \nWe look forward to your participation and encourage you to share this invitation with your partners.

SUMMARY:From UNGA to COP26 & Beyond: The Future of Climate Governance
DESCRIPTION:The recent Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows that the world has little chance to achieve agreed climate change mitigation targets in our lifetimes given the continued degradation of the environment.\n\nThe climate action timelines of many nations are not ambitious enough and current global governance approaches remain weak\, lack accountability mechanisms\, and are fragmented and siloed. Against this backdrop\, this UNGA side event will discuss what new approaches and governance innovations might the international community wish to consider\, as a matter of priority for climate action? And what strategies can be considered to ensure that these innovations are implemented?\n\nRead the full concept note and RSVP here: ggin.stimson.org/event/from-unga-to-cop26-beyond-the-future-of-climate-governance\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\nMaja Groff\, Convenor\, Climate Governance Commission\n\n\nRichard Ponzio\, Senior Fellow and Director\, Global Governance\, Justice and Security Program at the Stimson Center\, and Member of the Climate Governance Commission\n\n\nJimena Leiva Roesch\, Senior Fellow and Head of Peace and Sustainable Development at the International Peace Institute\, and Member of the Climate Governance Commission\n\n\nArunabha Ghosh\, CEO at the Council on Energy\, Environment and Water\, Member of the Climate Governance Commission\n\n\nDhabia Al-Mohannadi\, Professor\, Texas A&M University at Qatar\n\n\nKatharine Rietig\, Associate Professor in International Politics at Newcastle University\, and Member of the Climate Governance Network\n\n\nMichael Collins\, Executive Director for the Americas at the Institute for Economics and Peace\n\n\nMagnus Jiborn\, Head of Research\, Global Challenges Foundation and Member of the Climate Governance Commission\n\nModerator: Adriana Erthal Abdenur\, Co-Founder and Executive Director\, Plataforma CIPÓ and Member of the Climate Governance Commission \n\nEvent Co-Sponsors: Climate Governance Commission⎯Global Challenges Foundation\, the Stimson Center\, Global Governance Forum\, Global Governance Innovation Network\, Group of Women Leaders for Change & Inclusion\, CIVICUS\, Doha Forum\, Council on Energy\, Environment and Water\, Plataforma CIPÓ\, Baha’i International Community\, International Environment Forum\, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung New York Office\, We The Peoples Campaign\, Together First\, ACUNS\, Common Home of Humanity\, the Institute for Economics and Peace\, and the Coalition for the UN We Need\n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Financing for Development\, please visit ngosonffd.org.
