The passing of Pope Francis marks a pivotal moment in history, especially in regards to climate action and social justice. His encyclical, Laudato Si', released in 2015, called for global attention to ecological and social crises. As the first Jesuit pope from Argentina, he brought a unique perspective shaped by personal experiences with environmental degradation and poverty. His leadership inspired a cultural shift towards integral ecology, combining spiritual and scientific approaches to address pressing issues like climate change.
In his first papal letter, Laudato Si', he called for all people, not just Catholics, to pay more attention to the frailty of both our planet and its people.
His concern for justice for vulnerable communities and protection of the planet go hand in hand with his religious leadership.
