Briefing Paper 554 – Ecojustice and Voices of Faith by Lovedonia Mkansi

As the world seems to be coming out of the woods with the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of familiar challenges are slowly beginning to re-gain traction on the global scene. The advent of 2022 was marked by the unfolding of some important conferences, including the UN Biodi- versity Conference; the Desertification Confer- ence; and the Stockholm +50 Conference. And then there is the Climate Change Conference (COP 27) which will take place in November in Egypt.1 These conferences are meant to provide a platform for various stakeholders to engage with policy-makers across the globe on environ- mental and climate change issues. They offer a space where governments, civil society, busi- ness, academia and policy representatives come together to find areas of common priorities that they can collectively work on in tackling these environmental challenges.
