(Oct. 13, 2011) The Catholic Coalition on Climate Change has launched significant resources for Catholic high school aged youth and for institutions of higher learning. A six-session program Friending Planet Earth: Helping Youth Understand Solidarity & Sustainability in Light of Climate Change was produced in partnership with the Center for Ministry Development. Schools that are engaged in projects making the connection between Catholic Social Teaching and sustainability may also apply for the St. Francis Care for Creation Award, offered in collaboration with the National Council of Catholic Women. Catholic colleges and universities are invited to utilize Sustainability and Higher Education: A Toolkit for Mission Integration, to help them strengthen their 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.
