Several theological faculties from Latin countries, connected through CEPPLE, offer their students a joint course on one of the most urgent issues of our time: climate change.

The ecological crisis calls for political, cultural, spiritual, and theological transformation. The theological dialogue will take place from multiple contexts and in the various languages of the participating Faculties, with translation provided.
