The JPIC Commission is a joint Commission of the Union of Superiors General (USG) and the International Union of Superiors General (UISG) of men and women’s Religious Institutes of the Catholic Church. There are over 2000 member Institutes. The Commission has four objectives – Information, Sharing, Formation and Action.

The Commission aims to integrate contemplation and action in order to help transform the world in the spirit of the Gospel through lives that witness to justice, peace and care for the integrity of creation. In its work, it focuses on the needs of people who live in situations of extreme need and those who are excluded and marginalized.

The UISG Campaign Sowing Hope for the Planet, which was launched in 2018, helps to promote the Laudato Si’ Action Plan, by engaging religious in developing global plans that integrate values of nonviolence in the creation of an integral ecology.
