EMPOWERED HEALTHCARE: SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER AT COP26

CCC's collaboration with Humanity Rising to manifest a groundswell of voices speaking truth to COP26 is emerging as the next iteration of Climate Change & Consciousness as a global summit. I have just added Dr. Vandana Shiva to the healthcare panel on November 4th, and secured the participation of Alden Meyer as a reporter on-the-ground at the COP. With Bill McKibben as one of our daily commentators November 1-12, along with Rupert Reed of Extinction Rebellion and Dita Brigid Vizoso,. and Rob de Laet hosting a panel on stopping the dieback in the Amazon, this will be even richer and more expansive than CCC19.

Vandana asked me to share this with you as a preview of her participation.

More about Navdanya, a biodiversity movement

Navdanya means “nine seeds” (symbolizing protection of biological and cultural diversity) and also the “new gift” (for seed as commons, based on the right to save and share seeds In today’s context of biological and ecological destruction, seed savers are the true givers of seed. This gift or “dana” of Navadhanyas (nine seeds) is the ultimate gift – it is a gift of life, of heritage and continuity. Conserving seed is conserving biodiversity, conserving knowledge of the seed and its utilization, conserving culture, conserving sustainability.
