SUMMARY:Climate Emergency\, Compassion Emergency - Kindness Festival Week
DESCRIPTION:Our society’s preoccupation with material wellbeing in the form of economic growth\, to the neglect of the impact of this on both the non-human world and the wider human community\, much of which is excluded from the benefits of industrial growth\, has led to a deep and worsening ecological crisis that is also a crisis of global justice. We urgently need to find ways of delivering well-being to all members of our human community\, while recognising out deep dependence on the non-human world and the need to care for nature and all living beings. \nThe City of Leeds has a strong track record as an environmentally concerned city; the Leeds Climate Commission represents a pioneering initiative in building a city-wide partnership that brings responding to the challenge of climate change to centre stage in the aspiration to create a truly Compassionate City. But the continuing demand for economic growth is hard to reconcile with the ecological imperative – we will hear from representatives of Extinction Rebellion\, the School Strike movement\, and the animal rights movement about alternative strategies for returning to a sustainable way of life that respects the natural world and seeks to restore equality within the global human community. \n
