La escalada de la crisis ambiental exige medidas urgentes de todos los sectores de la sociedad, incluidas las instituciones religiosas. La Iglesia católica, con su influencia global y autoridad moral, ha adoptado una postura significativa sobre cuestiones ecológicas a través de Laudato Si’, la encíclica del Papa Francisco de 2015 sobre gestión ambiental. Laudato Si’ exige una ecología integral que reconozca la interdependencia de los sistemas ecológicos, sociales y económicos e insta a los individuos, comunidades y gobiernos a abrazar una «conversión ecológica». El artículo explora el papel de la comunicación ambiental basada en la Iglesia en la promoción de la defensa ecológica, analizando tanto las oportunidades como las barreras dentro de las comunidades religiosas. La Iglesia puede ser un factor integral en la configuración de un futuro sostenible al abordar las barreras de comunicación, fortalecer la educación ecológica basada en la fe y promover plataformas digitales. Los hallazgos discutieron la necesidad de un compromiso sostenido y una innovación en la defensa ambiental religiosa, asegurando que Laudato Si’ no sea simplemente un documento teológico, sino un marco vivo para la acción.
