ELSiA urges the EU to adopt the UN Roadmap as a guiding framework — aligning environmental sustainability with human dignity and the common good.

It highlights a core truth from Laudato Si’:
🌍 The ecological crisis is inseparable from the social crisis.
Those already in poverty are hit first and hardest by climate impacts.
🧵6/7
The Roadmap offers concrete policies:
• Science-based caps on resource use & emissions
• Better governance of critical minerals
• Protection from land grabbing
• Support for agroecology
• Funding for loss & damage
🧵5/7
Instead, it calls for economies designed to help people and the planet thrive.
Not just “more output”, but justice, dignity and sustainability at the centre.
🧵4/7
The Roadmap challenges a dangerous assumption:
➡️ That we can pursue endless growth while staying within planetary limits.
This model is not viable — it’s fueling ecological breakdown
🧵3/7
Why this matters:
We’re living through an accelerating ecological crisis.
✅ 7/9 planetary boundaries exceeded
✅ Global material extraction tripled since the 1970s
✅ EU footprint at 14.8 t per capita/year — double sustainable levels
🧵2/7
🌎It’s time to rethink growth.
ELSiA welcomes the new UN Roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth — a bold framework to align our economies with people & planet.

🌿 Last week, ELSiA gathered voices from across Europe at Taizé (France) to explore one question: what does integral ecology mean to you? Three days of stories, silence & awakening — the kind of depth only Taizé can hold. 🌱

On the final day of the #ELSiARetreat in #Taizé, we left with full hearts and renewed commitment. Sharing, building community, and working together — because that's the only way forward. 🌍
#LaudatoSi #IntegralEcology
On Day 2 of the #ELSiARetreat, we were reminded that action and faith go hand in hand. Integrating #IntegralEcology into daily life doesn't require perfection, just intention. 🙏
We were happy to hear from & encounter so many inspiring initiatives on #LaudatoSi’ from the ground.
On Day 1 of the #ELSiARetreat, we gathered in #Taizé to share, pray, and reflect on our work for #LaudatoSi & #IntegralEcology. Hearing best practices from the ground was the perfect way to kick off our retreat and find hope in the current state of the world. 🌿

🌿 ELSiA is gathering in Taizé, France — 6 to 8 March 2026.
A retreat rooted in prayer, encounter, and integral ecology — bringing together national coordinators, eco-church initiatives & ecology organisations from across Europe to reflect and renew. 🕊️
ELSiA was pleased to participate in the annual meeting of Catholic organisations working with the EU at COMECE in Brussels. An inspiring mutual exchange, especially the dialogue with Mgr. Bernardito Auza, strengthening our shared mission and collaboration for the year ahead.

Thank you to MEPs @chahim.bsky.social and Peter Liese for joining our (co-organised with @misereor.bsky.social) breakfast this morning at COMECE for a cross-party exchange on the future of #EU climate policy, between international expectations and European political realities after #COP30.
🗓️ On this #WorldDayOfThePoor, we call to #TurnDebtIntoHope.
👉 Too many countries spend more on debt than on health or education.
📢 We urge the EU and global community to support fair, transparent debt solutions that put people and the planet first. www.vaticannews.va/en/church/ne...
#COP30, Week 1: Strong voices, real solutions.
