Climate Challenges and Connections in LEAD: Lasallians Unite for Climate Justice

As part of the International Lasallian Days for Peace (ILDP), the Lasallian East Asia District (LEAD), through its LEAD for Peace program, gathered Lasallians from seven countries for a meaningful dialogue on climate justice. The online seminar, “Climate Challenges and Connections in LEAD,” held last 27 September 2025, brought together 92 participants from Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand to reflect on how caring for the Earth is central to peacebuilding and the Lasallian mission of justice and solidarity.

Guest speaker Ms. Lea Guerrero, Country Director of Greenpeace Philippines, discussed the triple planetary crisis—climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss—and its links to inequality, governance, and human rights. She urged the Lasallian community to see climate justice as a moral and spiritual call to act together with compassion and commitment in building just, sustainable, and peaceful communities across the District.
