 <\/p>\n

\u201cHe answered, \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor<\/strong> as yourself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Luke 10:27, NRSV<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The intersessional meetings for COP24<\/a>\u00a0 held in Bonn, Germany from April 1 \u2013 May 10th<\/sup> were supposed to produce a strong foundation for development of a robust rulebook for implementation of the Paris Agreement,<\/a> but this was not the outcome of the intersessional. The parties were not able to achieve sufficient progress to be assured of the upcoming COP24 success.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Therefore, a second intersessional meeting must be held pre-COP24. The intersessional will be held in Bangkok in September to resume technical discussions. Key issues lacking sufficient progress include: climate finance matters; the mechanism for raising the commitment of parties to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (NDCs<\/a>); and transparency issues that cover all aspects of the Agreement. These issues are critical to developing a strong rulebook coming out of COP24. The parties also need to determine how to deliver negotiation\/legal text for the rulebook in Bangkok. Consideration may be given to having expert and informal workshops to help resolve points that are barriers ahead of the meeting in Bangkok. They also need to determine how to operationalize the technical discussions of the Talanoa Dialogue<\/a> into political principles for facilitating rulebook development.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the level of progress made during the intersessional was a disappointment, determination and resolve replace concerns when one understands just who we are working on behalf of in this process.Created in the image of God and as stewards of all of creation, we are working on behalf of:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those whose lives are impacted by flood waters;<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Our children;<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Those working to reduce emissions<\/strong>;<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>All of humanity;
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Animals and plants.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are working on behalf of our neighbors and all of creation. \u201cSuch caring, serving, keeping, loving, and living by wisdom sum up what is meant by acting as God\u2019s stewards of the earth. God\u2019s gift of responsibility for the earth dignifies humanity without debasing the rest of creation. We depend upon God, who places us in a web of life with one another and with all creation.\u201d (ELCA social statement: \u201cCaring for Creation: Vision, Hope and Justice,\u201d 1993) We are reminded that:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>The second is this, \u2018You shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 There is no other commandment greater than these\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mark 12:31, NRSV<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
