Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church, vol. 7: Plastic Pollution, Theological Ethics, and the Call of Laudato Si
Summary
A 2024 interdisciplinary conference brought together scientists and theologians to address plastic pollution through the lens of Catholic social ethics and Laudato Si, producing a volume of selected contributions on plastic pollution, planetary health, and social justice.
In the past century, the Earth has moved from the Holocene to the Anthropocene epoch, and the consequences both for planetary and human health have been profound. Scientific and technological progress has benefited humankind but at increasing cost to the planet. It has resulted in climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss—the ongoing ‘Triple Planetary Crisis.’ To address this complex crisis, the 2024 conference titled “Joining Science and Theology to End Plastic Pollution, Protect Health, and Advance Social Justice” offered an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together science and ethics. Selected contributions from this conference are gathered in this volume.
