Next, Att. Antonio La Vina, lawyer, educator and environmental policy expert, and Ms Ridhima Pandey, an environmental activist from India, spoke on ‘The Climate Crisis and its Impact in Asia’. Updating his audience about the current status of the climate crisis, Att. La Vina stressed the utmost importance of turning back the worst effects of the climate crisis while still possible. Calling the representatives to play a role of stewardship and leadership, he put forward a set of action points for
the Church, ranging from global to local plans, suggesting Laudato Si’ and Fratelli Tutti as frameworks to build on.
Outlining the story of ecological devastation in her home state, Ms Ridhima Pandey described her efforts campaigning for all the children impacted by the climate crisis. Underlining the need for widespread change, how the children of today were out on the streets taking action because the older generation hadn’t, she exhorted, ‘every single degree (of global warming) matters... we need your help’. Ms Pandey also introduced the film ‘The Letter’, a message from Pope Francis to the world, addressing youth action and the climate crisis, which was screened for the representatives later in the evening.
