Laudato Youth Initiative Jubilee Year
Goal: To Enhance Climate Action in Uganda
Theme: Laudato Youth as Pilgrims of Green Hope.
Practical Action: A Journey of Faith, Science, and Ecology with Laudato Youth
To celebrate the Jubilee Year the Laudato Youth Initiative will explore practical ways to bridge the intersection Between Faith, Science, and Ecology: to enhance Climate action in Uganda as pilgrims of green hope for the future integrating the message of Laudato Si’, Catholic Social Teaching, Millennium Development Goal 13 (Climate Action), and Ugandan cultural religious wisdom and environmental laws into a year-long initiative focused on climate action in schools, parishes, dioceses and communities across Uganda and other associated clubs of the Laudato Youth Initiative.
We will face this year as challenge and an opportunity to delve deeper into our foundational values and establish a framework that embodies the African Perspective of Integral Ecology, deeply intertwined with our faith. This Jubilee Year is an invitation for us to foster hope among young people. Our mission is to strengthen the unity of the youth for Climate Action through our Laudato Si clubs, which serve as a community platform for addressing environmental issues with practical solutions rooted in African ecological values and principles. We aim to advance an African interpretation of Laudato Si, Laudate Deum, and amplify voices for the Church’s Social Teachings regarding the environment, creating a synergy that integrates these essential church documents with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 13, as well as our Ugandan environmental laws. This approach will enable a cohesive and effective response to the challenges we face.”
