International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict


06/11/2024

International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict 

A video (2:21) introducing this day!

In the ongoing climate change catastrophe, conflicts relating to the use of natural resources, land and sheer survival are likely to increase.

A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY:

Creator God of peace,

we pray this day for those places in the world where natural resources are destroyed in armed conflicts.

We ask for leaders of all nations and groups not to weaponise the environment.

We pray for dialogue to be at the heart of conflict resolution.

We ask for your guidance in our own lives that we might be peacemakers

for, it is in learning to resolving individual conflicts peacefully,

that we, as a global community, can learn to resolve bigger conflicts

without destroying our Common Home.

We ask this in your holy name. AMEN

 

This is a really interesting video (2:24) from Stanford University about climate and conflict - very thought provoking!

World Science Day for Peace and Development

Here's a video (2:10) created in 2020 which outlines what World Science Day for Peace and Development is all about:

 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY - AVAILABLE HERE AS A 75 second VIDEO

Creator God,

we give thanks for the wonders of creation

which science helps us understand and appreciate.

 

Give inspiration to all doing scientific research – as they search for insight and truth;

Give determination to all who apply science - in helping us live life in all its fullness;

Give wisdom to decision makers - that science might always be used for the betterment of all who share this Common Home.

 

We pray that science be instrumental in bringing us to that day

when we will all live in peace;

using, conserving and sharing equitably - the resources of this planet.

 

We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN
