Religious/Ethical: "Integral Ecology" articulated in the second decade of the 21st century through the Catholic Church.

Integral ecology is central in the eco-encyclical Laudato Si: "On Care for Our Common Home" promulgated in 2015 by Pope Francis, a first-ever Catholic 'eco-encyclical as eco-doctrine' that deserves special attention for its exceptional reach and impact in global affairs.

Ahead of Vatican climate change summit, skeptics issue warnings to Francis

Apr. 27, 2015

Two groups expressing doubt about the wide scientific consensus regarding global climate change have strongly criticized an upcoming Vatican summit on the issue, hosting a press conference in Rome where they also forcefully warned Pope Francis against speaking on the subject.

Claiming that globally used models of the effects of carbon emissions on the environment are invalid, speakers at the event said the pope would be making a "great mistake" if he expressed support for Tuesday's Vatican event or tackled climate change in his upcoming encyclical of the environment.
