L'Église incarne le Royaume de Dieu sur terre, en donnant la priorité à la gloire de Dieu, au bien-être des hommes et au salut des âmes, ce qui nécessite un environnement sain. Le changement climatique fait peser de graves menaces sur cette mission, en particulier sur les pauvres et les personnes vulnérables. Guidés par l'encyclique « Laudato Si » du Pape François, l'Eglise et les Vincentiens plaident pour une écologie intégrale, mettant l'accent sur la gestion de l'environnement en tant qu'impératif moral. La réponse vincentienne s'aligne sur sa mission de servir les marginalisés, en abordant les questions environnementales par le biais d'initiatives telles que l'Alliance des familles vincentiennes sans-abri et le Plan de développement durable Vincentien-Grenadine. Des études de cas telles que la Campagne des 13 maisons et le Projet Akamasoa à Madagascar illustrent les efforts pratiques déployés pour réduire la pauvreté tout en promouvant la durabilité. Les collaborations avec des organisations environnementales et interconfessionnelles, ainsi que l'engagement communautaire, renforcent ces efforts. Malgré les défis, la Congrégation de la Mission reste engagée dans la promotion d'un avenir durable, en intégrant la protection de l'environnement dans le cadre de son service à l'humanité.
