Publisher's Synopsis
Laudate Deum is an apostolic exhortation by Pope Francis on the climate crisis that relates directly to his first encyclical, Laudate Si. Here, however, the pope's concern is focused directly on the climate crisis that affects all people, but especially those who are poor. In his directness, the pope does not hold back from critiquing problems coming from industry, economists, and those in positions of power who ignore the climate
The exhortation is in six parts where he outlines: 1) the global climate crisis; 2) a growing technological paradigm; 3) the weakness of international politics; 4) the important role of climate conferences; 5) the expectations of COP28 in Dubai; and 5) the spiritual motivations that must be both ecumenical and interreligious.
