Last Monday, November 26, the meeting of the steering committee of the HEST (Higher Education for Social Transformation) programme of the Jesuit office in Europe took place in the premises of the Chapel of the Resurrection in Brussels.
This programme, which has been running for more than 3 years, aims to coordinate research by Jesuit university centres in Europe on 7 major themes for the continent: migration, ecology, economy and poverty, Islam-Christian relations, anthropology, science-religion relations and Ignatian studies. The program also seeks to coordinate this research with the social centers of the Society.
Read the report of José Carlos Romero, coordinator of HEST, on the last meeting of the steering committee. Read report. |

Non-State Actors Collaborating for Climate Action
Ecojesuit at COP25 Conference
|
|
|
English.
We are inmersed in climate emergency and while recognizing that personal and community action are fundamental, we cannot be effective alone, as we are all tied into the global problem. Unless we can engage the political and market forces of this global world, we cannot get the necessary change. In this context, Ecojesuits was created in 2010 as a research and advocacy group to understand the universal importance of engaging in ecological concerns and the need for reconciliation with creation.
Ecojesuit has been present in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25) that has taken place in Madrid during the month of December. In this global gathering Ecojesuit representatives have been working to seek greater collaboration amongst social action groups, networks for change, and faith-based organizations.
Read full article by Fr. Pedro Walpole SJ to learn more about the actions of Ecojesuit in COP 25 and about the discussed social mechanisms for climate action. Read article. |

Estamos inmersos en una emergencia climática y aunque reconocemos que la acción personal y comunitaria es fundamental, no podemos ser efectivos solos, ya que todos estamos atados al problema global. A menos que podamos involucrar a las fuerzas políticas y de mercado de este mundo global, no podremos conseguir el cambio necesario. En este contexto, Ecojesuits fue creado en 2010 como un grupo de investigación y abogacía para entender la importancia universal de comprometerse con las preocupaciones ecológicas y la necesidad de reconciliación con la creación.
Ecojesuit ha estado presente en la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (COP25) que ha tenido lugar en Madrid durante el mes de diciembre. En este encuentro mundial, los representantes de Ecojesuit han estado trabajando para buscar una mayor colaboración entre los grupos de acción social, las redes para el cambio y las organizaciones religiosas.
