Call for video submissions to be screened at COP26 vigil

Justice and Peace Scotland, in conjunction with the Laudato Si Movement, The Columbans, EcoJesuits and The Don Bosco Green Alliance are looking for video submissions to take part in a 24 hour vigil for the climate during COP26 in Glasgow.

'24 Hours for the Climate' is a global vigil for Catholics and people of faith to pray and advocate for the success of COP26, the United Nations conference on climate change taking place in Glasgow from 31st October to 12th November.

Our faith calls each of us to hold our nations' leaders accountable to the needs of God's creation, marginalized communities, and future generations. At COP26, we need negotiators to agree to stop all fossil fuel extraction by 2040, protect and restore ecosystems, and financially support developing countries as they adapt to climate change.

On 5th - 6th November, this live broadcast will be an opportunity to learn from communities suffering from climate change, pray for the future of our common home, and write messages that will be delivered to COP26 negotiators.

We invite you to submit a proposal for video content that will be broadcast during the vigil. You can propose to create either a prayer experience, a story highlighting the impact(s) of climate change, or both. We are also hoping to invite applicants in Scotland to join us in Glasgow (timing/ Covid restrictions permitting).

See the links below for more information, and to submit your proposals. Please understand that submitting a proposal does not guarantee we will be able to include it.

Deadline for proposal submissions is 19th September 2021.
