Benedict Mayaki, SJ<\/p>\n<p>The Holy See has reiterated its call for integral ecology as a means of natural disaster risk management and prevention of other environmental problems, in a statement to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnvironmental disasters often take place because of economic exploitation and degradation of the Earth,\u201d the Holy See pointed out. <\/p>\n<p>Yet, \u201can economy respectful of the environment will not have the maximalization of profits at its only objective, because environmental protection cannot be assured solely on the basis of financial calculation of costs and benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The appeal was made during the fourth session of the 2020 Economic and Environmental Dimension Implementation Meeting of the OSCE organized in Vienna. The event took place under the theme: \u201cStrengthening the sustainable use and management of ecosystems and natural resources as a means to contribute to effective reduction of disaster risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Caring for the world<\/h2>\n<p>Re-echoing Pope Francis\u2019 call in the Encyclical Fratelli tutti, the statement stressed that caring for the world in which we live means caring for ourselves. Such care, the Holy See notes, \u201cdoes not interest those economic powers that demand quick profits\u201d as people who raise their voices to defend the environment are often silenced or ridiculed.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this, the Holy See draws attention to Pope Francis\u2019s concept of integral ecology as \u201can integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The common good, the statement highlights, \u201crequires that we protect and love our native land, otherwise the consequences of a disaster in one country will end up affecting the entire planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>States have a primary responsibility<\/h2>\n<p>The Holy See also underscored the role of States as primarily responsible for activities within their territory, including preventing \u201cthe destruction of the atmosphere and biosphere\u201d and ensuring that \u201ccitizens are not exposed to dangerous pollutants or toxic waste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, as these issues of environmental management are of \u201ctransnational concern\u201d, a local approach is vital, while not downplaying the impact of a more global approach, especially as \u201cthe actions of one State, in our common world, affect not just itself, not just its neighboring States, but the whole planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hence, the Holy See urged the OSCE to maintain \u201cgood environmental governance on the agenda,\u201d since a more global approach to security must take into account the numerous effects of environmental change and exploitation.<\/p>\n<figure>                                                                                                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/etc\/designs\/vatican-news\/release\/library\/main\/images\/support-comunicazione-banner.png\" alt=\"Your contribution for a great mission:support us in bringing the Pope&#039;s words into every home\" \/>                                       <\/figure>\n<p>                 Your contribution for a great mission:<br \/>support us in bringing the Pope&#039;s words into every home                                        Topics         <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>                                              Holy See                                      <\/li>\n<li>                                              Vatican                                      <\/li>\n<li>                                              Fratelli tutti                                      <\/li>\n<li>                                              environment                                      <\/li>\n<li>                                              natural disasters                                      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>                                                20 October 2020, 15:08             <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>                              Send                      <\/li>\n<li>                              Print                      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poppy fields bloom near Lake Elsinore, California, in the spring (ANSA) VATICAN Holy See Vatican Fratelli tutti environment natural disasters Holy See urges integral ecology for disaster risk management The Holy See highlights integral ecology as a comprehensive approach to counter the impact of natural disasters, combat poverty, and protect nature, in a statement to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
