The Society of the Sacred Heart is not affiliated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and is therefore not authorized to attend COP26 as a civil society stakeholder.

However, we can participate in other ways. Below is a list of some ways that the Family of the Sacred Heart can participate. Although, we will not attend COP26 in person in any official capacity, our ongoing action for climate justice is crucial.

As Artisans of Hope, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the goals of COP26 and to our JPIC imperatives, including Care of Our Common Home.
