Laudato Si', On Care for Our Common Home, the 2015 encyclical of Pope Francis published through the Vatican's own Libreria Editrice Vaticana, is the Catholic Church's own papal teaching document connecting environmental stewardship to Catholic social and moral theology. As the Church's own supreme teaching instrument on this question, it is fully authoritative for what the Church teaches, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It is a normative theological document articulating one tradition's moral position rather than an independent scientific or policy analysis of environmental issues themselves, which need separate scientific sourcing.
