Revisiting trade-offs: reframing poverty and climate goals through catholic social thought /

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article provides a commentary on Fr. Albino Barrera’s “Catholic Social Thought’s Order of Charity and Balancing Clashing Sustainable Development Goals.” In his paper, Fr. A. Barrera presents an insightful framework for addressing trade-offs between poverty alleviation and climate change mitigation in the context of resource scarcity. He proposes that, following the “order of charity” of Catholic Social Thought (CST), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) should be prioritized and sequenced, giving primacy to poverty alleviation over climate change mitigation because of its direct impact on human dignity and survival.
