Can Faith Truly Drive Global Sustainability? Ten years ago, Pope Francis issued a revolutionary encyclical, Laudato Si, urging humanity to care deeply for our common home. But has it truly made a difference? Today on The Sustainability Journey Podcast, I had the profound honour of speaking with Dr. Lorna Gold, Executive Director of the Laudato Si Movement. Lorna shared how Laudato Si is more than a Catholic teaching—it's become a universal call to action, uniting people across faiths, inspiring thousands of grassroots leaders, and challenging institutions to become sustainability champions. 🔑 Key Takeaways from our conversation: The real meaning behind Pope Francis' radical vision for a sustainable future. How the Laudato Si Action Platform mobilized over 5,000 institutions globally. Why authentic sustainability must integrate spiritual, ecological, and economic dimensions. Lorna’s personal reflections on Pope Francis as a uniquely compassionate and listening leader.
