Global Weirding: Climate, Politics, and Religion with Katharine Hayhoe

Canada Files, hosted by Valerie Pringle, Season 5 Ep. 7, with Katharine Hayhoe (May 14, 2024)

Prof. Katharine Hayhoe is a respected climate scientist, having advised both Canadian and American governments on the affects of climate change on everything from agriculture to water resources, public health and infrastructure. She is chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy and an Evangelical Christian, melding her scientific expertise with her faith in restoring the planet.

Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World, Atria/One Signal Publishers (Sept. 20 2022)

Called “one of the nation’s most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past fifteen years Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it—and she wants to teach you how.

In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action. This is not another doomsday narrative about a planet on fire. It is a multilayered look at science, faith, and human psychology. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and personal stories, Hayhoe shows that small conversations can have astonishing results. Saving Us leaves us with the tools to open a dialogue with your loved ones about how we all can play a role in pushing forward for change.

Christian Climate Observers Program (CCOP) is a joint immersive discipleship program with over a dozen Christian organizations, including A Rocha Canada and A Rocha International. CCOP is training the next generations of climate advocates, with the highly sought after UN climate observers experience, from a Christian and missional perspective.

Successfully admitted participates of CCOP will share in the credentials of our Christian NGO observer organizations, officially recognized by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The participants will have access to the annual UN Climate Conferences (a.k.a. COPs) official venues, to attend those meetings, briefings, workshops, or exhibits open to all observers. They will shadow seasoned professionals, experiencing firsthand the work of a climate summit, acquiring the skills to evaluate the negotiations and ongoing implementation of the important Paris Climate Agreement, and building their own individualized plan for future climate action. The program also include training webinar sessions before the COPs, and daily debriefings during the COPs.

Climate Intercessors is a global network of people, from the west coast of North America to Australia and New Zealand, and from many Christian expressions who want to join together to pray the prayers commensurate to the reality and urgency of the climate crisis. Monthly online prayer gatherings on the last Tuesdays, with multiple sessions to accommodate different time zones around the world.
