March 26, 2024, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.
His Eminence Cardinal Christophe Pierre
Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America
Cardinal Christophe Pierre was born on January 30, 1946 in Rennes, France. He completed his primary education in Antisirabé, Madagascar, and his secondary schooling in Saint-Malo, France, and in Marrakech, Morocco. He attended the Major Seminary of the Archdiocese of Rennes (1963-1969) and the Catholic Institute of Paris (1969-1971).
He did Military Service from July 1965, to October 1966. He was ordained a priest on April 5, 1970, in Saint-Malo, France and incardinated in the Archdiocese of Rennes. He was Parochial Vicar of the St. Peter and St. Paul Parish in Colombes, Diocese of Nanterre, France (1970-1973).
He has a Masters in Sacred Theology (Paris, 1971) and a Doctorate in Canon Law from the Pontifical Lateran University, Rome (1973-1977).
He completed his studies at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy, in Rome (1973-1977), and joined the Diplomatic Service of the Holy See on March 5, 1977.
He was appointed first to the Pontifical Representation in New Zealand and the Islands of the Pacific Ocean (1977-1981). Subsequently he served in Mozambique (1981); in Zimbabwe (1982-1986); in Cuba (1986-1989); in Brazil (1989-1991); at the Permanent Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland (1991-1995).
He was appointed Apostolic Nuncio and elected Titular Archbishop of Gunela on July 12, 1995, receiving Episcopal Consecration on September 24, 1995, in Saint-Malo, France.
Cardinal Pierre served as Apostolic Nuncio in Haiti from 1995 until 1999. He was then appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda (1999-2007) and subsequently to Mexico (2007-2016). On April 12th, 2016, Pope Francis appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America.
On July 9th, 2023, Pope Francis announced his intention to elevate him to the College
of Cardinals. At the Public Consistory of September 30th, 2023, he was created Cardinal
Deacon of San Benedetto fuori Porta S. Paolo.
Cardinal Pierre speaks French, English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
Precis of Cardinal Christophe Pierre’s Presentation
In his Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum, written shortly before COP28 took place
in Dubai, Pope Francis makes an urgent call to responsibility: “Our care for one another
and our care for the earth are intimately bound together. Climate change is one of
the principal challenges facing society and the global community” (Laudate Deum, 3).
The address of Cardinal Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of
America, describes how Pope Francis in his encyclical letter Laudato sí expands the
horizon of Christian social thinking.
Laudato sí has its roots in the reflections of Pope St John Paul II upon the “Gospel
of Life” (Evangelium vitae). The Christian event offers good news about the meaning
of human life and of its destiny: Gloria Dei, vivens homo. Vita autem hominis visio
Dei (St Irenaeus, Against heresies, 4,20). Christian reflection on the value of human
life orients the position of the Church on all kinds of challenges affecting the human
person: abortion, prenatal screening, euthanasia, and other ‘life issues’.
In his turn, particularly with the encyclical letter Caritas in veritate, Pope Benedict
XVI examines the risks that arise for the meaning and value of human life when the
understanding of the human condition is reduced to a kind of technical rationality.
For Benedict, human life is at risk when its personal dimension and inalienable dignity
are not explicitly recognized in a global system marked by a merely instrumental vision.
Such limitations can be seen in certain contemporary interpretations of reality and
in the manner in which important decisions are sometimes taken.
In Laudato sí, Pope Francis elaborates a broad reflection, bringing into relief the
link between the deterioration of the natural environment, the growth of social inequalities,
and the lack of concern for human life: “The human environment and the natural environment
deteriorate together” (LS 48), he remarks. As “everything is connected” (LS 117),
“the gravity of the ecological crisis demands that we all look to the common good,
embarking on a path of dialogue which requires patience, self-discipline and generosity,
always keeping in mind that ‘realities are greater than ideas’” (LS 201).
In Laudato Deum, Francis proposes an ecology informed by the light of the Gospel.
His vision is articulated in three dimensions:
1. Respect for nature is based on the creative act of God.
2. To illustrate the role of human beings in nature, the Pope develops the notion
of “situated anthropocentrism”, as a corrective to the “techno-scientific paradigm”.
3. He places the emphasis upon spiritual motivations rather than political ideologies.
The Pope wants a “Christian civic activism”, based on dialogue and cooperation between
people from different social & religious backgrounds, echoing his encyclical letter
“Fratelli tutti”.

Closing Plenary: Ecological Justice - From Prophetic Dialogic Disruption to Sustainability
March 27, 2024, 6 - 7:30 p.m.
Fr. Kachi Adindu, C.S.Sp.
VIVAT International, Geneva, Switzerland
Fr. Kachi is a Spiritan priest from Nigeria. Ordained 24 years ago, he served for 12 years as the Dean of Studies and later as the Rector of the Spiritan Seminary at Ihiala, Nigeria. He later transferred to UK where he served as the Provincial Secretary of the British Spiritan Province, JPIC coordinator and the British Province Representative at the African-European Faith and Justice Network based in Brussels. Trained as an International Lawyer and Diplomat at University of Lancaster, UK, Fr Kachi is currently the head of VIVAT International operations at the United Nations secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.
Abstract
The current ecological crisis rallies the cry for urgent global action. Ecocide demands remedial Ecological Justice. Imperatively, all who seek ecological justice for our bruised planet must approach equity with clean hands. As activists jostle for the gavel with conflicting interests, justice swings from the lucid to the elusive. A realistic advancement of the SDGs must initiate a prophetic dialogic disruption of our current roadmap for eco-justice and sustainable development. This presentation showcases how Spiritans at the United Nations are birthing a return to the less charted prophetic pathway of disruptive dialogue to ensure a credible sustainable development agenda.

University Sustainability Committee
The Integrity of Creation Conference partners with the University Sustainability Committee.
The charge of the University Sustainability Committee (USC) is to support, promote,
and grow Duquesne University’s efforts to build a sustainable campus. The Committee
fosters opportunities for multidisciplinary engagement across academic units, facilities,
and University leadership. The USC’s activities enhance recruitment, retention, and
DEIA initiatives; highlight faculty and student research; and support all five 2023
Strategic Plan imperatives and the Bridges Common Learning Experience. They also help
to position Duquesne University as a premier Catholic institution and leader in Sustainability
Studies. This work is informed by Duquesne University’s Catholic mission, which conveys
the University’s commitment to serving God through ethical and ecumenical service
to the community, the nation, and the world.
This Committee develops and promotes a culture of sustainability across campus and the Pittsburgh community by being an advocate, resource, and catalyst a for social, environmental, and economic responsibility aligned with Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ (“On Care for Our Common Home”) and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The Committee and its advocacy are part of a vision for why and how a collaboration between faculty, staff, and students can expand the value of and be able to tell compelling stories about why students and scholars should come to Duquesne University to be part of our sustainability efforts.

STARS
"The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System (STARS) serves as a comprehensive,
self-reported framework for higher education institutions to evaluate their sustainability
performance. This assessment encompasses campus sustainability initiatives, curriculum,
energy consumption, waste management, and leadership, among other sustainability factors.
The data provided is graded on a points-based system, resulting in an overall rating
ranging from bronze to platinum. Duquesne University has participated since 2019 and
has since proudly achieved a silver rating. The report has gained Duquesne University
acknowledgment on the Sierra Club’s Cool Schools list and Princeton Review’s list
of Green Colleges.
Acknowledging that there is perpetual room for improvement when pursuing sustainable
opportunities, STARS aids in identifying areas where Duquesne University can progress
toward our mission of environmental stewardship and innovation. The University Sustainability
Committee collaborates closely with Duquesne’s Center for Environmental Research and
Education to complete the STARS report on an annual basis. The results are publicly
available on the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) website,
along with all other participating institutions.
The STARS platform also assists the University Sustainability Committee in measuring
current performance, acknowledging achievements, and drawing constructive comparisons
to other schools in the region. As environmental concerns escalate worldwide, sustainability
reporting is increasingly relevant and valuable. The USC is committed to leveraging
STARS and other sustainability reporting systems to demonstrate Duquesne University's
commitment to transparency and making measurable sustainability progress.
The most recent STARS report was submitted on March 1st, 2024. The report can be found
at https://reports.asshe.org/."
