Laudate Deum: On the Climate Crisis | Apostolic Exhortation to All People of Good Will on the Climate Crisis

In this follow-up to his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’, Pope Francis offers a personal, impassioned public-policy plea for action on the “climate crisis”. We’re not reacting enough, he says, we’re close to breaking point. He describes how care for our common home flows from the Christian faith. He has titled the Exhortation, Praise God (Laudate Deum) “for when human beings claim to take God’s place, they become their own worst enemies.”
