2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' landmark encyclical, Laudato Si'. Much remains to be done to implement the encyclical's radical vision of integral ecology, but that vision has made a definitive impact on the work to preserve our common home, achieve integral human development, and build peace. This panel will address ways in which the principles of integral ecology can be operationalized to continue moving such work forward through the next decade and beyond.
