On Nov. 25, Pope Benedict XVI addressed delegates of 194 countries gathering in Durban, South Africa for the latest round of international climate change negotiations. He urged that they reach a strong global agreement to address the challenge of climate change: I hope that all members of the international community can agree on a responsible, credible and supportive response to this worrisome and complex phenomenon, keeping in mind the needs of the poorest populations and of future generations.

(Nov. 9, 2011) In a speech to an ecumenical gathering in Louisville, Kentucky, Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, CA and chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, addressed the Christian vocation to cultivate and care for God’s good gift of Creation, by reducing our consumption and our carbon footprint in order to ease the effects of climate change on the world’s poorest people. In doing so, Bishop Blaire identified how this commitment connects to Catholic concerns for human life and human dignity: People of faith bring a unique and important message: about the care of God’s creation, about those most vulnerable to environmental injustice. Read Bishop Blaire’s entire statement here. See coverage by Catholic News Service (scroll down to “People” story).

(Sept. 6, 2011) As Catholic colleges and universities across the country begin a new school year, eight national Catholic organizations are publishing and promoting an exciting new resource, Sustainability and Catholic Higher Education: A Toolkit for Mission Integration. This new resource will help schools strengthen ongoing commitments to Catholic mission, to “cultivate and care for” (Genesis 2:15) God’s good gift of Creation, to link these efforts to impacts on poor people at home and abroad and to develop sustainable campus communities. Read more about it and all the co-sponsors in the Press Release here. Download the Toolkit here.
