It is time to turn commitments into action for our Common Home.
As the world gathers for COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November, the Society of Jesus reaffirms its commitment to socio-environmental justice through the global Jesuits for Climate Justice campaign. This initiative amplifies the voices of those most affected by the climate crisis and calls for an urgent response centred on three key demands:
- Establish a clear path for a just energy transition that ensures no one is left behind.
- Increase funding for countries with higher environmental and socioeconomic vulnerability.
- Set clear goals to build global food systems focused on food sovereignty and agroecological practices.
More than 3,400 signatories have joined this call, endorsed by Fr Arturo Sosa, SJ, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, and the Presidents of the six Jesuit Conferences. Rooted in faith and Catholic Social Teaching, the campaign invites individuals and institutions, within and beyond the Church, to join forces in support of human dignity, the rights of Indigenous Peoples, and care for our Common Home.
