Laudato si (Praised be) on the care of our common home, Pope Francis’s new encyclical on the environment and its impact on humanity, especially the poor, is a “most inspiring development,” former senator and now climate change commissioner Heherson Alvarez said on Wednesday.

Pope Francis luminously explains with the new encyclical that man is damaging God’s creation, reflecting Saint Francis of Assisi, from whom he took his name, and as such environment is very important to him,” Alvarez noted in a statement.
