SUMMARY:World Water Day - Celebrate It!
DESCRIPTION:2025 World Water Day Toolkit\nFrom our partners at LAMA: 2025 World Water Day Toolkit\nCaring for God’s Creation: https://lamaz.org/calendar/world-water-day-2025 \n\nWorld Water Day is observed each year on March 22 to promote the responsible use of water and access to safe water for everyone. Water holds immense value. Every day\, people use water in different ways including drinking\, agriculture\, industry\, recreation\, hygiene\, sanitation\, and health care.\n \nEvery year since 1993\, World Water Day (22 March) raises awareness and inspires action to tackle the water and sanitation crisis.  It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is a United Nations observance coordinated by UN-Water.\n \nWhy is water considered a natural resource? Water maintains ecological balance. It sustains life. It is necessary for respiration in aquatic organisms. It is essential for photosynthesis.\n \nAccess to water and sanitation is a human right. A well managed water cycle underpins progress across the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, particularly in relation to hunger\, gender equity\, health\, education\, livelihoods\, sustainability and ecosystems.Water is also at the heart of adaptation to climate change\, serving as the crucial link between the climate system\, human society and the environment. Without proper water governance\, there is likely to be increased competition for water between sectors and an escalation of water crises of various kinds\, triggering emergencies in a range of water-dependent sectors. The physical world of water is closely bound up with the socio-political world\, with water often a key factor in managing risks such as famine\, epidemics\, inequalities and political instability. \nDid you know?\n• 2.2 billion people (1 in 4) still live without safely managed drinking water\, including 115 million people who drink surface water. (WHO/UNICEF\, 2023).\n• 3.5 billion people (4 in 10) still live without safely managed sanitation\, including 419 million who practise open defecation. (WHO/UNICEF\, 2023).\n• 2 billion people still lack basic hygiene services\, including 653 million with no facility at all. (WHO/UNICEF\, 2023).\n• Around 1\,000 daily deaths of children under five are due to unsafe water\, sanitation and hygiene. (WHO\, 2023)\n• Children under the age of 15 living in countries affected by protracted conflict are\, on average\, almost three times more likely to die from diarrhoeal diseases caused by a lack of safe water\, sanitation and hygiene than by direct violence. (UNICEF\, 2019)\n• More than 2 billion people live in countries under water stress and 3.6 billion face inadequate access to water at least one month per year. (WMO\, 2021)\n• Water-related disasters account for 70% of all disaster related deaths. (World Bank Group\, 2022)\n• Since 2000\, flood-related disasters have increased by 134%. (WMO\, 2021)\n• In 2023\, glaciers lost more than 600 gigatons of water\, the largest mass loss registered in the last five decades. (WMO\, 2024)\n• Only 0.5% of water on Earth is useable and available freshwater. (WMO\, 2021)\n• To meet SDG 6\, progress needs to increase\, on average\, by 6x for safely managed drinking water\, 5x for safely managed sanitation and 3x for basic hygiene. (WHO/UNICEF\, 2023)\n• 72% of all freshwater withdrawals are used by agriculture\, 16% by industries\, and 12% by municipalities. (FAO\, 2023)\n• Global water demand is projected to increase by 20 to 30% by 2050. (UN\, 2018)\n• To produce a person’s daily food\, it takes 2\,000-5\,000 litres of water. A 50% increase in food demand is expected by 2050. (FAO\, 2020)\n• Water-use efficiency has increased by 19.3% globally from 2015 to 2021\, but around 58% of countries still exhibit low water-use efficiency. (FAO\, 2024)\n• The world will not achieve sustainable water management until 2049. (UNEP\, 2024)\n• Only 27% of industrial wastewater is safely treated. (UN-Habitat\, WHO\, 2024)\n• 42% of household wastewater is not safely treated. (UN-Habitat\, WHO\, 2024)\n• Only 56% of monitored water bodies in 120 reporting countries are in “good ambient water quality”. (UNEP\, 2024)\n• Just 43 out of 153 countries sharing transboundary waters have operational arrangements covering 90% or more of their shared water bodies. (UNECE\, UNESCO\, 2024)\n• Every US$ 1 invested in water and sanitation yields a return of US$ 4.3. (UN-Water GLAAS\, 2014)\n• Aid for water and sanitation decreased by 5% between 2015 and 2022. (UN-Water GLAAS\, 2022).\n• Estimates indicate that to achieve SDG 6\, over US$1 trillion will be needed per year. (World Resources Institute\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Social Days of Action - Voting & Creation
DESCRIPTION:RESOURCE – Social Media Toolkit \nBackground \nAs faith-based and affiliated organizations we have a direct voice to the faith communities we serve. This year\, so many issues we care about as people of faith; caring for the Earth\, seeking peace around the world\, ensuring all are fed and housed\, are issues being debated and discussed in upcoming elections. It is critical that our faith communities mobilize to ensure all voices and votes are heard. This messaging toolkit was created in the hope of bringing greater unity across organizations and faith traditions in the shared message that voting with our faith in mind\, and ensuring others can do the same\, will be so important this election season! \nTopline Messages \n\nFor people of faith\, our faith traditions inform our vote. The morals and values we have are shaped by our faith\, and when we vote those values\, we are living into our faith.\nCaring for the Earth/Creation/our Common Home\, is a tenet of many faiths\, and as we work to address the climate crisis\, we look for elected leaders who will take bold action to care for and protect our Earth now and for generations to come.\nOur democracy can only truly represent its people\, if everyone has the opportunity to vote and have their voice heard. People of faith are critical to ensuring all those in our communities and congregations can cast their vote.\n\nAction Steps \nTo use this messaging guide\, we hope that you will: \n\nUse the sample social media and graphics to promote this messaging to your networks\, \nJoin us in two days of action on 9/24/2024  and 10/22/2024\, where we will lift up our common faith voices in support of voter mobilization for people of faith\,\nLike\, share\, and lift up the posts and participation of all our partners to show unity and community in these efforts!

SUMMARY:Our Vote. Our Democracy.
DESCRIPTION:Join Interfaith Power & Light (IPL) and League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (LCVEF) for a special National Voter Registration Day webinar.  \nUsing our voices to fulfill our civic duty and vote in every election makes a difference in our communities – and our world. Threats to democracy and the environment are intertwined. We cannot effectively address the climate crisis\, advance environmental justice and protect our Sacred Earth without advocating for a strong democracy.  All human beings have inherent dignity and worth. Therefore\, all Americans should have equal access to the ballot box.  \nThe Election Protection Coalition’s Hannah Walker will join us to talk about ways to protect democracy before and during Election Day by providing an overview of the Election Protection Hotline (866-OUR-VOTE) and its sister language lines that any voter can use. Attendees will also learn how they can help other voters in their community by becoming a poll monitor on Election Day in their community.  \nMelanie Beikman from Arizona Interfaith Power & Light and Luther Hemby from Power the Vote NC will also share stories about the real-world impacts of voting in their communities and any challenges they face in the process.

SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF THE FUTURE
DESCRIPTION:November 22\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF THE FUTURE  – Kim Stanley Robinson\, Writer\, The Ministry for the Future (2020) \nKim Stanley Robinson has written a science fiction thriller on climate collapse in 2025 that reads as hard-edge journalism.  With short chapters written from the perspectives of a myriad of characters\, Robinson looks at climate change through lens of a kaleidoscope.  With each turn of his wrist\, we see another point view brought forward with imagination and a pragmatic visions on what must be done in order for us to survive.  Christian Holub writes “Robinson lays a blueprint for fighting climate change.” This may be one of the most important books published in the last two decades.  Bill McKibben said in his review of “The Ministry For The Future\,” in the New York Review of Books\, “This is not science fiction…..”  With questions ranging from what the end of capitalism might look like to surviving the end of the world\, Kim Stanley Robinson gives us a possible path to move forward with faith in what we can create together. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ki9SObPISlWvz9kaCDOTVA \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.

SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF ATTENTION
DESCRIPTION:November 15\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF ATTENTION  –  Elizabeth Kolbert\, staff writer for The New Yorker\, Under White Sky: The Nature of the Future (2021) \nNo one has covered the climate crisis as deeply and as thoughtfully as Elizabeth Kolbert. From Field Notes From A Catastrophe (2007) to her Pulitzer-prize winning book The Sixth Extinction (2016) to her most recent book\, Under The White Sky “a book about people trying to solve problems caused by people trying to solve problems” that discusses what “a good Anthropocene” might look like from managing fish in the Midwest to including geo-engineering the atmosphere that will turn our blue sky white. Kolbert is a brilliant writer and an impeccable journalist writing from the front lines of climate change. Rolling Stone Magazine writes\, “To be a well-informed citizen of Planet Earth\, you need to read Elizabeth Kolbert.” This will be an illuminating conversation about where we find ourselves now and in the future depending on what choices we choose to make and the actions we are willing or not willing to take on behalf of a liveable future. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hNyYCudFRHeMVmtSxThn1A \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.
