Eco-Justice

In 2005 the Edmund Rice Centre began the Eco-Justice unit as a project to examine how we could better integrate ecological concerns in to the practice and work of the Centre. 

The philosophy of the Eco-Justice unit comes from the Earth Charter, an international declaration of principles underpinning a sustainable future. 

Read more about the Earth Charter here. 

We have developed a number of resources and activities, both regular and ad hoc, on issues of sustainability.

And we have initiated the Pacific Calling Partnership campaign, bringing together individuals and organisations involved with, or with a concern for, our Pacific neighbours, to help address the issues arising from climate change in low-lying Pacific nations.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia as the traditional owners and custodians of the land. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice. We pay our respects to the Elders; past, present and future. As we take our next step we remember the first footsteps taken on this sacred land.

 

The Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education supports and endorses the ULURU STATEMENT FROM THE HEART. We urge all Australians to take up the Indigenous people's invitation to learn about and promote it.
