Laudate Deum addresses the reality of climate change and its escalating impact on the lives of all peoples. Pope Francis emphasizes the anthropogenic origin of the crisis, highlighting the irreversible nature of many associated catastrophes.

The encyclical letter Laudato Si (“Praised Be”) by Pope Francis is the most comprehensive Vatican document to date on environmentalism, ethics, and Christian faith. The document is intended for all people, not Catholics or Christians alone. Its arguments are founded on theological convictions.

Pope Francis’ 7-Year Journey Towards Integral Ecology puts his landmark encyclical, Laudato Si‘, into action. Families, dioceses, schools, universities, hospitals, business, religious orders, and community organizations are now challenged to do the magis–the more–to heal the Earth. University Pathways is the guidebook for colleges and universities taking up the challenge.
