Laudato Si' Action Platform Launch Update

"The platform will create a space for the universal Church — and beyond — to respond to the global emergency we are facing. Through it we can learn and grow together as we take decisive action to build a better future in the spirit of Laudato Si'"- Cardinal Turkson

Originally set for 4 October, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the Laudato Si' Action Platform (LSAP) is now scheduled to begin its enrollment period and release of support materials on 14 November, World Day of the Poor. A 40-day prayer and promotion campaign has commenced in preparation for the launch.

About the Platform
The Laudato Si' Action Platform is a major grassroots effort to mobilize Catholics worldwide to put into action the message of integral ecology in Francis' 2015 encyclical, "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home," during a decade scientists say is critical for global responses to climate change and other environmental destruction.
The platform outlines specific actions and goals for Catholics across seven sectors — families, parishes and dioceses, religious orders, educational institutions, health care centers, economic institutions and lay organisations — and invites groups to complete them within a seven-year period. Working groups have been developing steps for the seven sectors to follow.
