About the Carmelite NGO
“To hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor”
(Laudato Si’ 49)
The Carmelite NGO has special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. We also have affiliations with other U.N. bodies, including the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Global Coalition for Social Justice (GCSJ), and the Department of Global Communications (DGC).
ITS MISSION is to actively participate in creating a more peaceful, just and loving world by advocating and caring for the spiritual and material needs of the human family and the environment.
ITS ACTION focuses on: care for the environment, human trafficking, freedom of belief, education of children and youth, hunger, and poverty. It provides the Carmelite perspective on every area before the United Nations.
It is a NETWORK for Carmelites who are involved in specific issues of Justice, Peace and Care for Creation, fostering the integral human development in an Integral Ecology perspective.
