“…In particular, Patriarch Bartholomew in his Santa Barbara speech in 1997 and Pope Francis in his encyclical letter Laudato Si' in 2015. Finally, I will measure reliability in terms of environmental impacts rather than in terms of academic citations [61] or in terms of internal consensus in religious communities [62].…”

This paper theoretically examines and empirically assesses the ethical statements by Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew in terms of their ability to achieve global environmental sustainability. The theological discussion of environmental precepts in documents/speeches based on the recent academic literature suggests that (absolute feasibility) Pope Francis pursues unfeasible environmental and social goals (personal fulfillment, poverty reduction, population growth), whereas Patriarch Bartholomew pursues feasible environmental goals (meeting God’s will, following God’s law); (relative feasibility) Pope Francis suggests unclear and inconsistent values, whereas Patriarch Bartholomew suggests clear and consistent values; (absolute reliability) Pope Francis relies on many instruments close to alternative attitudes to the environment (happy sobriety, contemplative style, human rights), whereas Patriarch Bartholomew rests on few instruments close to unambiguous concerns for the environment (happiness from sanctity, ascetism, duties to community); (relative reliability) Pope Francis suggests broad behavioral rules, whereas Patriarch Bartholomew suggests targeted behavioral rules. The statistical analysis of documents/speeches as if they are environmental regulations (using “sin”) based on dynamic panel data shows that Patriarch Bartholomew > Pope Francis in absolute feasibility; Patriarch Bartholomew > Pope Francis in relative feasibility; Pope Francis > Patriarch Bartholomew in absolute reliability; and Patriarch Bartholomew > Pope Francis in relative reliability. Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew together reduced the global average per capita use of the Earth’s resources by 5% per year.

Religions play a key role in shaping our worldviews, values, and behaviours and this includes our interactions with the environment. Fuelled by the development of the technocratic paradigm, Christianity has historically received a bad reputation for perpetuating anti-environmental views. Nonetheless, the development of ecotheological strands and the emergence of faith-based organisations focusing on climate justice have aided in producing the much-needed environmental reformulations. As such, this paper seeks to provide a broad overview of the role of Christianity in shaping worldviews, from those hindering environmental action to more contemporary ecotheological approaches discussing climate change, particularly Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato si’. Christianity’s preparedness to navigate climate change will be theorised in relation to empirical evidence and the work of European faith-based organisations, as well as the methodological opportunities that the field of ecolinguistics can offer to inform effective communication.

“…Além disso, aprofunda a discussão da crise socioambiental, aponta suas raízes morais e éticas, traz visibilidade e dimensão política aos princípios e ensinamentos da DSI, relacionados ao bem comum, origem e destino comuns, justiça, interdependência e o entendimento de desenvolvimento integral. A proposta aponta para ações que pressupõem mudança de conduta e uma conversão ecológica integral (Molina;Pérez-Garrido, 2022).…”

The search for sustainable development has always been the target of clashes in the model assumed by today's society. In this sense, it is assumed that the Catholic Church can contribute decisively to this discussion, since, as an institution with more than 2000 years of existence, it has a legacy of socio-environmental teachings that permeate its missionary action in the world. In 2015, Pope Francis strategically published, shortly before COP 21, the social Encyclical Laudato Si, on care for our common home. The document consolidates the principles of the Church's social doctrine, brings the paradigm of integral ecology and proposes the participatory methodology of Laudato Si circles, for the implementation of actions within the local sphere. In this article, the objective was to contribute to a deeper understanding of the sustainability guidelines and practices addressed in the encyclical Laudato Si and, with that, to offer five proposals for local solutions to socio-environmental issues that compromise life and ecosystems as a whole. For this, a bibliographical and exploratory research was carried out, from which it was observed convergence between the social principles consolidated in Laudato Si and sustainable practices, the central proposal of the 2030 Agenda.
