MOTION 14:EARTH HOUR AND EARTH SUNDAY
May 11, 2010
Pretty pleased with this step taken towards addressing Climate Change and its effects. Coming from Pasefika, the issue of Climate Change is a senstive and most important one. Interesting to see that most speakers speaking to this motion were youth delegates, showing how serious we are also about the condition that God’s Creation is in now and how it is affecting our generation and ones to come. I spoke on the how we in the islands are already past the stage of trying to address the effects, and now are in the stage of dealing with our people who are traumatised by Climate Change - in particular the families and vicitms of the tsunami that hit Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga last September. It’s something our ministers now have to deal with in regards to pastoral care - counselling the traumatised. Im not too well-versed with whatever publications, handbooks, studies etc. offered but i strongly feel that our ministers back in the islands have to be prepared to deal with these challenges. GOD BLESS! Sepz Hala’api’api - Polynesia

Got something to say?
good comments Sepi. We have moved beyond the issue, and now are dealing with people who are directly affected by what we are doing to our environment
