Laudate Deum: The Climate Crisis and Our Common Home
Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation, Laudate Deum, is addressed to all people of good will, focusing on the urgency of the climate crisis. It critiques the inadequacy of global responses since his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si' and highlights the increasingly evident and human-caused signs of climate change, such as extreme weather. The text analyzes the technocratic paradigm that fuels environmental exploitation and underscores the weakness of international political efforts in effectively addressing the crisis, including the limitations of past climate conferences. Finally, it offers spiritual motivations for caring for creation and calls for personal, cultural, and political changes to reconcile with the world.
