Ep 37 - How “zooming in” can help us take climate action for peace

What does climate change have to do with peace? In this episode of Undercurrents, Ken Ogasawara explores how climate action is deeply connected to justice, community, and faith. From Guatemala to Ontario, hear real stories of how the climate crisis is impacting farmers, families, and Indigenous communities—and how local action is creating hope. Meet students at Centro Educativo Menonita Kekchi Bezaleel (Bezaleel Mennonite high school) adapting to crop failure, and students at Rockway Mennonite Collegiate turning inspiration into hands-on climate solutions like pollinator gardens and food-growing spaces. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by climate change, this episode offers a different approach: start small, start local, and act together. 🌱 Climate action for peace starts where you are. 👉 Take action with MCC: https://mcc.org/what-we-do/initiative...
