ABSTRACT
In Laudato Si’ Pope Francis develops his understanding of “integral ecology” which provides a valuable moral framework for articulating norms of just peace in light of the modern extractive industry, yielding an ecological just peace. This chapter proceeds in three parts: first, an overview of the main principles of integral ecology; second, a description of the principles and practices of just peace; and third, an application of integral ecology and just peace to the issue of mining.
