  • Carlos Zepeda

摘要

This article examines frictions emerging between faith-based environmental activism and secular climate governance in Latin America and the Caribbean. Drawing on diverse spiritual traditions, it shows how integral ecology influences policy while negotiating tensions with UN-led frameworks and rights-based paradigms. Case studies from the region reveal three key fractures: holistic views of nature, inclusive participation, and resistance to technocratic models. Using policy analysis, fieldwork, and discourse analysis, the article evaluates the extent integral-ecology-inspired hybrid governance models balance moral authority with secular commitments to rights and inclusion, enriching debates on faith-based environmentalism in the Global South.
