The Vatican backed Laudato Si Movement organises an online Laudato Si’ Animators’ Course which is set up to educate and enable people to inspire others, in parishes, schools and in the world at large, to engage in dialogue and action on the current environmental crises.
The Course, which starts on the 19th April this year, will educate and empower you to bring the Laudato Si’ Encyclical to life.
The Course requirements include weekly readings including chapters from the LS Encyclical, discussion groups, videos to watch, some webinars and some homework which may include things like writing your reflections.
The Course will explain the causes and consequences of climate change, will show how the Laudato Si’ Encyclical fits into Catholic Social Teaching and will encourage a personal ecological conversion to enable action for the planet.

Expert and diverse panelists will talk about our planetary boundaries, the latest updates from COP15 and Indigenous perspectives on biodiversity. The online gathering will conclude with a theological reflection on creation care.
It connects the science of climate change, biodiversity and sustainable resource use with the messages of Pope Francis’s Encyclical 
Conecta la ciencia del cambio climático, la biodiversidad y el uso sostenible de los recursos con los mensajes de la Encíclica Laudato Si’ del Papa Francisco.
Reports on COP15 were posted during the conference on our website 
The aim of this global pact is to halt and reverse the rapid loss of biodiversity by 2030, setting aside at least 30% of the world’s lands, oceans and inland waters for conservation and respecting the rights, roles and contributions of indigenous peoples toward this goal. The Framework designed at COP15 charts a new way forward, a path away from the damaging patterns that led to the destructionof ecosystems and diminishment of species over many decades. 
The COP talks are an effort to get countries to agree to policies that will halt and repair the damage and destruction caused by human activities like mining on the planet’s ecosystem and wild species. Over the course of the talks, attention has been focused on preserving 30% of the world’s land and water by 2030. But this depends on the technology and the finances available, and no deal can happen, however worthy and necessary, unless there are adequate resources. Several complex issues are at play in the negotiations – including the questions of how much territory countries are willing to leave undeveloped for the conservation of natural habitats and how to finance that effort. While there was agreement that countries which have great biodiversity, but which also need to develop their economies should not be the ones to carry the burden for the rest of the world, no significant progress has been made in resolving that critical issue.
Participants will set out new goals and develop an action plan for nature over the next decade. The conference will be held in Montréal, Quebec, the seat of the UN CBD Secretariat, from December 7 – 19, 2022.
