Transforming Eco-Anxiety to Eco-Action

In his keynote, Br. Mark Mackey, SJ, invites us to transform eco-anxiety into eco-action by grounding ourselves in faith, community, and a renewed ecological outlook. He explores the tension between despair and hope in the face of climate change, drawing on Ignatian spirituality and the wisdom of theologians and activists to reimagine our relationship with the natural world. Br. Mark challenges us to move beyond despair, embrace both individual and systemic action, and find strength in community. He reminds us that even the smallest actions, when rooted in love and faith, can be transformative.
