Catholic Environmental Conservation

[JMJ_coder]

I’m looking for Vatican, Papal, USCCB documents on the area of ecology and environmental conservation/stewardship (say in that last 200 years).

Thanks in advance.

In God’s plan man and woman have the vocation of “subduing” the earth as stewards of God. This sovereignty is not to be an arbitrary and destructive domination. God calls man and woman, made in the image of the Creator “who loves everything that exists”, to share in his providence toward other creatures; hence their responsibility for the world God has entrusted to them.

CCC 373​

Also, from the USCCB: nccbuscc.org/sdwp/international/globalclimate.shtml
