A passionate advocate for both Indigenous issues and climate justice, she is also a member of the WCC central committee, as well as the WCC Commission on Climate Justice and Sustainable Development. Her concerns were echoed by a young participant from the Philippines in the audience, who alluded to the rise of sea levels, threatening the life on many islands in his country. The WCC central committee in June officially began the WCC Ecumenical Decade of Climate Justice Action. The WCC has for many decades been an actor in climate justice, with work that includes advocacy at UN climate negotiations, sharing prayer and liturgies during Season of Creation, and theological reflection on eco-justice. Rev. Henrik Grape, a longtime WCC senior advisor on Care for Creation, Sustainability, and Climate Justice, who moderated the seminar, pointed out that ten percent of the population on Earth is responsible for 50 percent of greenhouse emissions.
