Researcher María Zitto puts forward a fundamental idea: the ecological crisis also speaks to how we relate to nature, to others, and to ourselves. This is the thesis she develops in her article “The View of Humanity at the Stockholm Conference of 1972: Similarities and Differences with Christian Anthropology,” published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, part of the Nature group.
Drawing on the dialogue between the 1972 Stockholm Declaration and the Christian anthropology of Laudato si’, his work highlights the common ground between both perspectives and proposes an understanding of environmental stewardship grounded in human dignity, shared responsibility, care for the most vulnerable, and the interdependence between humanity and nature.
In an interview with the Office of the Vice President for Research at Francisco de Vitoria University, he summarizes the focus of his research as follows: “building bridges” between different realities and finding common ground for protecting the environment.
