These are prayers and worship resources that can be used during the COP28 session

A joint initiative of the Holy See and the Stockholm Environment Institute.

The guide sets out essential facts and solutions on key topics, along with advice on how communities can respond and is inspired by Pope Francis’ second encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, which explores our ecological crisis and its roots in over-consumption and current models of economic development.

The "Integral Ecology" website (a project of the Carmelite NGO) is designed to educate and activate people on our global environmental challenges and their impact on the national world and human communities. 

You will find original video content, as well as videos from other sources.  There are also articles and reports, as well as links to valuable organizations and resources.  This website is a constantly developing repository of all things related to integral ecology. Access website here.

In this webinar, hosted by Catholic Climate Covenant and Laudato Si' Movement-US, we focused on Pope Francis’ very anticipated Apostolic Exhortation (released on October 4th) and what it means for the US. We also pray for the current state of creation and all who work to protect our common home, and join the Catholic community in taking needed and urgent actions.

The event included presentations summarizing the main themes of the Apostolic Exhortation, and lifted the voices of scientists, young people, and those most impacted by the ecological crisis.
