Abstract: The climate crisis and environmental problems are topics that arise today in both the political and religious spheres. Effective action in this area, in order to counter global problems, requires synchronization of the actions of both political and religious communities. Christians generate more than half of the world’s GDP, although they account for only 23 percent of the global population. Given this fact, it is impossible not to see how significant the influence of Christians on the global economy and politics is. The research objective of this article is a systemic analysis of the interaction between politics and religion, using the example of the faith community led by Pope Francis. The study undertaken serves to verify the following hypothesis: the fusion of political and religious activities contributes to the promotion of environmental and climate goals and the growth of public awareness.
