Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 01/24/2017 --On January 26, 2017, 8 PM EST, renowned climate and environmental activists and scientists, including Karenna Gore, the Rev. Michael Dowd, Dr. Richard Clugston, indigenous leader Dr. Mindahi Bastida Munoz and Japanese activist Rev. Ken Kitatani headline a discussion on the Global Environmental Crisis on VoiceAmerica's 7th Wave Series "The Convergence".

Karenna Gore, daughter of Nobel Prize winning climate pioneer Al Gore, now heads the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. She is joined by Mexican indigenous leader and UNESCO-associated activist Dr. Mindahi Bastida Munoz, sustainability expert Dr. Richard Clugston, Japanese activist Rev. Ken Kitatani and leading Christian writer on science and religion issues, the Rev. Michael Dowd, to take on this pivotal discussion, especially timely now with the anti-climate change views of President Donald Trump.

The episode explores the current global climate and environmental challenges our planet faces. It recognizes that "transformative change is needed" and "business as usual is not an option". We cannot make the needed shift to "a world that works for all," that "leaves no one behind," unless we make real transformative changes in our world-views, practices and policies. World-views contain our core assumptions about the nature of reality and our purpose in life. They need to shift to a deep sense of interconnectedness, respect and care for the whole community of life and future generations. In our practices- our consumption of energy and food, our carbon footprints, how we relate to others. We need to live compassionately, in ways that all can live. Our social and economic policies needs to shift away from an obsession with short term economic growth toward a new bottom line that focuses on full human development for all in a flourishing, increasingly diverse, Earth community

In this episode of VoiceAmerica's "The Convergence" series (https://www.voiceamerica.com/show/2610/the-convergence and http://www.1god.com/convergence) these major activists and world leaders analyze the current and future status of this major challenge to human survival, the global climate crisis.
