Catholics and Climate Change

Catholic Climate Covenant
The Catholic Climate Covenant was launched as a result of the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change, and designed “to take responsibility for our contribution to climate change and do what we do best: be advocates for those who will be left out of the public policy debate on climate change.”

“The Catholic Church and Climate Change”
Part II of a Series on Climate and Major Religions from the Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media.

“Global Climate Change A Plea for Dialogue Prudence and the Common Good” 
A Statement of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The text for Global Climate Change: A Plea for Dialogue, Prudence, and the Common Good originated from the Domestic and International Policy Committees and was prepared in consultation with the bishops’ Committee on Doctrine and the Committee on Science and Human Values.
