The Vatican’s Laudato Si’ Action Platform

Pope Francis issued the Laudato Si’ encyclical in 2015. The encyclical was focused on care for our common home, listening and responding to the cry of the poor and the cry of the Earth. A paradigm called ‘integral ecology’ is proposed in the 4th chapter of the encyclical. The Laudato Si’ Action Platform aims to help implement the principles of the encyclical through a collaboration between the Holy See, an international coalition of Catholic organisations and willing global citizens. Target audiences include families, parishes and dioceses, educational institutions, healthcare institutions, civil society organisations, the economic sector (including farms) and religious congregations. The platform will be launched during the last bimester of 2021, and it will help people act through a customised multiyear commitment toward sustainability. Hundreds of resources will be provided to users, including relevant literature, manuals, webinars and community-building tools, among others.
