Laudato Si'

Part of our work on: Pope Francis

Laudato Si', authored by Pope Francis, is the first papal encyclical to focus on care for creation as a central moral obligation. This groundbreaking letter brings together the call to protect the environment and to defend the “least of these” through an integral ecology that challenges all of us to action.
