Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality: On Care for Our Common Home

The complete text of Laudato Siâ€™, the landmark encyclical letter from Pope Francis that, as Time magazine reported, â€œrocked the international communityâ€

In the Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality, the beloved Pope exhorts the world to combat environmental degradation and its impact on the poor. In a stirring, clarion call that is not merely aimed at Catholic readers but rather at a wide, lay audience, the Pope cites the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change, and does not hesitate to detail how it is the result of a historic level of unequal distribution of wealth.

It is, in short, as the New York Times labeled it, â€œAn urgent call to action . . . intended to persuade followersÂ around the world to change their behavior, in hopes of protecting a fragile planet.â€

With an insightful and informative introduction by Harvard professor Naomi Oreskes, famed for her bestselling Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.
