Leo XIV urges renewed dialogue on how we are building the future of the planet

Vatican City.- Leo XIV urged this Saturday "to renew the dialogue on how we are building the future of the planet", in a message on the social network X on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the publication of the encyclical 'LaudatoSi’.

"This encyclical by Pope Francis calls us to renew the dialogue on how we are building the future of the planet, to unite in the search for sustainable and integral development and to protect the common home that God has entrusted to us," wrote the American pope on the social network.

The Pope has resumed his predecessor's concern for the environment, as expressed in the video message he sent to a meeting of university rectors from America and the Iberian Peninsula in Rio de Janeiro, in which he urged them to "work for ecological, social, and environmental justice".
