You what???
This is a talk by Dr Sally Brooks ,honorary fellow in the School for Business and Society, University of York. It has been organised by Global Justice Now.
These courts are a feature of a number of international trade deals. They can be problematic. For instance, fossil fuel companies are taking some countries to court for taking too much action to lessen the impact of Climate Change!
So…whilst it might sound dry and uninteresting it is something that should be of interest to anyone who cares about international development.
Come to the Houses of Parliament with CAFOD on 18 March to speak to your MP about Pope Francis’s Jubilee message. It ends quite late so you would probably need to stay over in London – but, hey, make a mini-break out of it!
CAFOD say about this event:
LiveSimply is an award scheme managed by CAFOD. Parishes and schools submit a plan and work towards achieving 3 goals:
to Live more simply
to Live more sustainably
to Live more in solidarity with the poor.
Bishop Marcus commended the scheme in his pastoral letter during the Season of Creation in September 2024.
The scheme provides a motivating way to involve people of many differing interests and can help renew parish life as people collaborate on achieving the things set out in their plan.
This day event is for people from across the Diocese of Leeds to come together to explore what the scheme is about, hear from people who are in a LiverSimply parish, and to think more about what it could bring to their community.
(21 January 2025) More details will follow soon along with a link to sign up to come along.
