Faith-Based Participation in Natural-Resource Governance: Communities Defending Life and Territories in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico
This report by the World Resources Institute and the Laudato Si' Research Institute examines the role of faith communities in socio-environmental disputes across Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. It highlights how these actors use spiritual and symbolic dimensions to defend human rights and territories, often viewing their work as a 'defense of life' rather than formal natural-resource governance. The report emphasizes the critical but under-recognized leadership of women and calls for international organizations and governments to recognize faith communities as essential environmental defenders.
