Climate, Conflict & the Search for Peace
Climate, Conflict & the Search for Peace: First-Hand Observations from COP27, Russia and Eastern Europe
Wednesday, December 7, 2022 7:30PM EST
Tamara will share her insights as an observer delegate at the UN COP27 climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt this November. She was on the delegation of the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom (WILPF), which is a member of the Climate Action Network International and the Women Gender Constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
After Egypt, Tamara went on a tour of Russia, Finland, Latvia, Poland, and Romania to learn more about these countries and to talk with people about their perspectives on the war in Ukraine and NATO expansion. She was invited to speak at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) and at a public event in Helsinki. Her tour was motivated by citizen diplomacy, peace-building, and strategic empathy.
This will be an online event through Zoom. Maya Garfinkel, World BEYOND War's Canada Organizer, will be the moderator. Registrants will receive the Zoom link when they sign up.
I hope to see you there,
Maya Garfinkel, Canada Organizer
