"LAUDATO SI’:
Presentation in the ECOSOC Chamber


Coming from every corner of the globe, your presence reminds us that, from the very beginning, the Encyclical Laudato si’ on care for our common home brings into dialogue all persons and peoples, all institutions and organizations that share this same concern for "our common home."
As is already clear to everyone, the Encyclical takes its name
from the invocation of St Francis of Assisi: "Laudato si’ mi’ Signore" "Praise be to you, my Lord", which in the Canticle of the Creatures calls to mind that the earth, our common home,...

These questions arise from an observation: today the earth, our sister, mistreated and abused, is lamenting; and its groans join those of all the world’s forsaken and "discarded". Pope Francis invites us to listen to them, urging each and every one – individuals, families, local communities, nations and the international community – to an "ecological conversion"... perspective of the Encyclical – and of the Church – it is sufficient to say that human activity is one of the factors that explains climate change. We therefore have a serious moral responsibility to do everything in our power to reduce our impact and avoid the negative effects on the environment and on the poor.

 A series of perspectives are proposed for the renewal of international, national and local politics, of decision-making processes in the public and business sectors, of the relationship between politics and economy and that between religion and science.

chapter VI proposes "some inspired guidelines for human development to be found in the treasure of Christian spiritual experience". Along this line, the Encyclical offers two prayers, the first to be shared with believers of other religions and the second among Christians."
