The next webinar in the Hunger at the Crossroads series will focus on “Climate Change and Hunger.” The webinar will be led by Ryan Cumming and Brooke De Jong of ELCA World Hunger and will be on October 27 at 4:00pm Arizona time.

We know that hunger is about more than food. Understanding hunger – and working to end it – means seeing the many ways hunger and poverty intersect with so many other issues, including climate change, food production, access to housing, racial justice, gender justice and more. The “Hunger at the Crossroads” webinar series hosted by ELCA World Hunger explores these intersections and the ways we can be part of God’s promise of a just world where all are fed.

The United Nations estimates that 29 million people around the world are hungry because of the impacts of climate change. By the end of this decade, climate change could drive as many as 132 million people into poverty.  In the next “Hunger at the Crossroads” webinar, Ryan Cumming and Brooke De Jong of ELCA World Hunger, will explore the connections between climate and hunger and showcase new resources you can use to raise awareness and inspire action in your community.

Who

The webinars are open to anyone passionate about ending hunger and eager to learn more. In each session, we will dive deeply into the topic, with presentations from ELCA World Hunger staff and partners and time for questions and conversation.
