The session highlighted the diligent collaboration between members of the Episcopal Church and the Gwich’in people in Alaska to prevent drilling in a fragile part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and address the significant impacts of climate change. This partnership serves as a commendable model for collective efforts in environmental conservation and tackling significant environmental challenges. These efforts reflect the effective collaboration between faith-based entities and local communities to preserve nature and the environment from the consequences of climate change and unsustainable human activities.
