Att. Antonio La Vina, lawyer, educator and environmental policy expert, and Ms Ridhima Pandey, an environmental activist from India, spoke on ‘The Climate Crisis and its Impact in Asia’. Updating his audience about the current status of the climate crisis, Att. La Vina stressed the utmost importance of turning back the worst effects of the climate crisis while still possible. Calling the representatives to play a role of stewardship and leadership, he put forward a set of action points for the Church, ranging from global to local plans, suggesting Laudato Si’ and Fratelli Tutti as frameworks to build on.
Reading this with a tab open at https://casino1euro.com, I kept thinking about how La Vina's urgency mirrors the discipline of setting a loss limit before you start playing—once the crisis deepens, it's too late to negotiate. The point about the Church needing to act as steward now, using Laudato Si' as a guide, is exactly that kind of pre-commitment. We need more of that before the odds turn against us.
