Faith & Ecology Podcast
By the Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat – SJES
As part of the “Jesuits for Climate Justice: Faith in Action at COP30” campaign, we would like to present the Faith and Ecology Podcast, a nine-episode series inspired by the 4th Universal Apostolic Preference and the 10th anniversaries of the Laudato si’ Encyclical and the Paris Agreement.
Ahead of COP30 (10–21 November 2025, Belém, Brazil), the series presents the conference’s complex issues in an accessible, relevant, and personally meaningful way. Through conversations with experts, researchers, civil society, and members of the Global Ignatian Advocacy Network Initiatives, we aim to foster informed understanding and inspire active engagement toward ecological conversion and care for our Common Home during this critical moment in the climate crisis. We hope you will join us every Wednesday starting 10 September 2025.
