Integral ecology means solidarity with people and planet
We take a systemic approach, advocating for policies that contribute to relationships of solidarity with people and planet.
Change the system, not the climate.
We are living within a broken system that has created a planetary crisis. Those most affected by climate change are those least responsible and the international policy frameworks we have in place aren’t working.
Who is ORCIE-BCRÉI?
By coming together Catholic religious orders have a much stronger public voice on key issues of climate change and social justice.
