In the wake of Pope Francis' Laudato si encyclical, Catholicism appears to be deeply committed to addressing environmental and developmental challenges. However, the question remains as to how these theological statements will be translated into practical action. The Catholic Church's longstanding involvement in social matters positions it as a powerful partner in addressing development-related issues. This book employs a comparative approach to assess how the political and legal aspects of each of the UN's 17 SDGs are addressed by Catholic Social Teaching. The chapters delve into the question of how the Catholic Church interprets the concept of sustainable development as outlined in the Agenda 2030 Goals and explore the potential ways in which it can contribute to shaping the contemporary concept of global development. Furthermore, the book examines the potential for cooperation between the international community and the Catholic Church in implementing the Agenda 2030 Goals, making it a valuable resource for scholars in Catholic Studies, Religious Studies, Sociology of Religion, Environmental Studies, and Development Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367513849\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105046982906,"sku":"9780367513849","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_776059b8-3082-484c-97a3-59382f500c5c.jpg?v=1654416553","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sustainable-development-goals-and-the-catholic-church-catholic-social-teaching-and-the-uns-agenda-2030-9780367513849","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
