Laudate Si Project

 In his 2015 encyclical Laudata Si, His Holiness Pope Francis appeals for an inclusive dialogue about how people are shaping the future of the planet, our common home. The global project The Future of Work: Labour after Laudato Si, aims at contributing to the promotion and implementation of the Laudata Si papal encyclical in areas related to work. It aims to engage the private sector, academia, and civil society in this matter. Members of this project’s network are developing research and reflection capacity so as to imagine the future and reflect on the new context of labour, as an important driver toward social justice. UNIAPAC plays a key role in the development of the global network, as well as helping to promote research, capacity building and the process of dissemination. Six parallel research tracks are being explored to gather evidence of impacts on the world of work and find innovative solutions to address some of the main crises. UNIAPAC is leading one of these six parallel research tracks and this is entitled “The future of enterprise and leadership after Laudato Si.”
