Welcome

“We … call for a civil dialogue and prudent and constructive action to protect God’s precious gift of the earth’s atmosphere with a sense of genuine solidarity and justice for all God’s children.”
    —U.S. Catholic Bishops

What are the moral implications of climate change? Who is most impacted? What should the Catholic community do? The Catholic Coalition on Climate Change was launched in 2006 to help the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the Catholic community address these issues.

Learn about Catholic Principles and Teachings applied to the issue of global climate change:

• Prudence—thoughtful, deliberate, and reasoned action
• Poverty—concern for those least able to bear the burden
• The Common Good—promotion of solidarity over self-interest

Catholic Coalition on Climate Change supports and complements USCCB’s Office of Social Development and World Peace and the bishops' Environmental Justice Program. The Coalition is funded with generous assistance from the National Religious Partnership for the Environment.
