On March 24, The Episcopal Church will host and produce a groundbreaking forum on one of the most critical issues facing today’s world: The Climate Change Crisis.

In addition to stimulating conversation and raising awareness about The Climate Change Crisis, the live webcast will serve as the kickoff to 30 Days of Action. A range of activities will be offered for individuals and congregations to understand the environmental crisis. The activities will culminate on Earth Day, April 22.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will deliver the keynote address. The forum will be moderated by well-known climatologist Fritz Coleman of KNBC 4 television news.
Two panels will focus on specific areas of the climate change crisis; Regional Impacts of Climate Change; and Reclaiming Climate Change as a Moral Issue. The panels, each 30 minutes, will feature representatives of faith groups, government officials, environmental policy leaders and NGOs.
