Following the apostolic preference of the Care of the Common House, the Society of Jesus in Spain was present with different actions at the Climate Summit (COP25) held in December in Madrid. A group of Jesuits and lay people from different organizations participated in the official agenda of the event, both in institutional activities and in spaces of civil society and religious movements in defense of the care of the planet. The University of Comillas, the EcoJesuit group, Entreculturas or Alboan are some of the entities of the Society that participated.
Among the activities, for example, Jaime Tatay SJ and Irene Ortega (coordinator of Entreculturas Citizenship) participated in two round tables of the Forum on Caring for the Common House, promoted by the World Movement of Catholics for Climate. On Friday, December 6, a group of Jesuits and lay people participated in the prayer organized by Catholics for Climate and then in the Mobilization March against Climate Change that went through the streets of Madrid.
The global Jesuit ecology group, EcoJesuit, had a very active participation in COP25 with the presence of its coordinator, Pedro Walpole SJ, and other representatives from Alboan, Entreculturas and Comillas. Also, Jaime Tatay SJ, Professor of Theology of Morals and Sustainability, participated in the round table "The role of religions in the face of the climate challenge".
