Pope and environmental neglect’s impact on poor – SVDP Webinar

Join Warren Wright, our Mideast Regional Voice of the Poor Leader, for a discussion about the particularly negative impact global climate change has on the poor and vulnerable as articulated in the Pope’s recent encyclical.

The webinar will discuss the key elements of Pope Francis’ recent social encyclical Laudato Si.  It will highlight the impact that environmental practices have had on the poor and their livelihood and present ways we as individuals and communities can lessen this impact.  Pope Francis is very clear in Laudato Si that we are one with our earth and the environment and that solutions to the problems of poverty and environmental neglect are intimately connected.
