About Us

Don Bosco Green Alliance is the global platform for ecological initiatives and activities, carried out by the Salesians of Don Bosco.  Launched in 2018, Don Bosco Green Alliance is today an active network where young people from Salesian institutions and organisations exchange ideas and work together to address the environmental challenges our world is facing.  

We draw our inspiration from the words of Pope Francis in Laudato Si’: “Young people demand change. They wonder how anyone can claim to be building a better future without thinking of the environmental crisis and the sufferings of the excluded.”

Motivated by the appeal of Pope Francis in Laudato Si’, the Don Bosco Green Alliances strives to respond to “the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”

The General Chapter of the Salesian Society held in 2025, noted that: “Faced with the uncontrolled activity of the human being that risks destroying nature, “The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change.” (Laudato Si’ 13). The cry expressed in the Encyclical Laudato Si’ challenges us as educators and pastors of young people.”

 Don Bosco Green Alliance seeks to fulfil this mission “to protect our common home”, by promoting eco-spirituality, furthering eco-education, engaging in eco-praxis, and advocating for eco-justice.
