OCHENDO - An African Journal of Innovative Studies (OAAJIS) (Vol. 3 No. 1, 2022) ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND THE QUEST FOR GLOBAL SOCIAL ORDER IN FRANCIS' LAUDATO SI Author(s): Philip Osarobu ISANBOR

ABSTRACT

The anthropological imports of the environment as our common home are envisaging that human life and its existential relevance for any developmental creativity and innovation to be dependable on the valuation of the same environment that houses the human family, following the conviction of Francis’ Laudato Si. This is the basis on which the understanding of the human person is inseparable from the demands for environmental sustainability, and as such, meaningful and integral development been dependent on the institution of the courses of global social order. As recognized in Francis’ Laudato Si, the human family has been facing the effects of environmental pollutions and degradation as a result of imposing influences of scientific and technological culture associated with globalised socialization and civilization. Hence, adopting speculative and prescriptive methods of analysis, the essay concludes that the human society, irrespective of its global influences and values, cannot talk about the possibility of global social order without due references to the environmental sustainability that indispensably and existentially sustain the human family and guarantees safe and healthy future generations.

Keywords: Human Person, Global Social Order, Francis’ Laudato Si, Environmental Sustainability, Human Family, Science and Technology, Integral Ecology
