160THE ENCYCLICAL LETTER “LAUDATO SI’”: FROM THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO A
SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO THE OBLIGATION IN PROTECTING COMMON GOOD
Though not novel in the Social Doctrine of the Church, the protection of the
environment forms, for the first time, the main theme of Encyclical Letter “Laudato Si’”,
written by Pope Francis. Inspired by an anthropological but not anthropocentric view, the
document underlines the human component inherent in the current ecological crisis,
confirming the approach traditionally followed by the Holy See, according to which the
environment must not be considered in isolation but in its relationship with mankind. In
the text a prominent place is assigned to the role of the international community and, in
particular, to the necessity of developing treaty-based obligations aimed at the protection of
shared resources. The legal perspective is deeply intertwined with the economic one,
developed through the use of concepts such as “environmental debt” or “circular
economy” and showing support for the principle of common but differentiated
responsibilities between developing countries and developed countries. Finally, the Letter
highlights the function played by science and innovation, while at the same time warning
against the “technocratic paradigm”, in the light of the impossibility for science to fully
grasp the complexity of the relationships among the different elements of the ecosystem.
