ORCIE Presentation: Reflections from COP30 in Belém, Brazil
Date: December 9, 2025 at 2:30 pm (EST)
Location: Presentation Manor Theatre, Toronto (61 Fairfax Crescent, Scarborough, ON)
At this in-person event, ORCIE’s Executive Director, Genevieve Gallant, will share her firsthand experiences from COP30 in Belém, Brazil. She will speak to two urgent priorities shaping global climate action:
- The need for an integral ecology framework in multilateral forums
- The call for greater climate ambition worldwide
How do we bridge the widening gap between climate goals and political realities? What steps can we take in Canada to advance ecological conversion and collaborative advocacy?
Join fellow members of religious congregations for a dynamic discussion on these critical questions and explore opportunities to work together for systemic change.

ORCIE at the CRC JPIC Coffee Hour: Federal Budget and Economic Justice
On October 27, 2025, our Executive Director, Genevieve Gallant, joined the Canadian Religious Conference (CRC) for their JPIC Coffee Hour to reflect on the federal government’s budget choices in light of economic justice and integral ecology.
Her presentation came just after the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, offering a timely analysis of how military spending and cuts to domestic and international programs impact vulnerable communities. Genevieve’s intervention emphasized the urgency of a just transition plan—one that ensures economic justice while advancing systemic change rooted in integral ecology.
This contribution reflects ORCIE’s ongoing commitment to climate justice, coalition-building, and integral ecology, and highlights the importance of faith-based voices coming together in shaping public discourse on economic and ecological priorities.
The CRC has published a summary of the session on their website, including a recording of the presentation. You can read the full post here: CRC JPIC Coffee Hour – October 27, 2025 crc-canada.org.
We invite congregational leaders to bring this resource to their communities, helping inspire collective engagement.
