International Conference on Environmental Management and the Laudato Si'

Maiden International Conference on Environmental Management and the Laudato Si

Theme:            MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE-SMART PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES AMONGST FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES IN NIGERIA

Conference Background: Pope Francis’ Encyclical: Laudato Si is a worldwide wake-up call to help humanity understand the destruction that man is rendering to the environment and his fellow man. While addressing the environment directly, the document’s scope is broader in many ways as it looks at not only man’s effect on the environment, but also the many philosophical, theological, and cultural causes that threaten the relationships of man to nature and man to each other in various circumstances. As a way of pragmatic response to this call, Caritas Nigeria is organizing a 2-day International Conference to accentuate in theory and practice, the efforts of the Nigerian State in ensuring ecological justice by mainstreaming climate-smart principles amongst faith-based communities in Nigeria.
