In an address to participants in a Vatican-sponsored climate summit, Pope Francis expressed deep concern about the alarming data on climate change, stating that it poses a serious threat to all human beings and ecosystems.
He emphasized that wealthy nations, which produce the majority of pollutants, have a responsibility to address this crisis and proposed debt restructuring and the development of a new Global Financial Charter.
The pope stressed the urgent need for global decarbonization and swift political action to combat climate change. He warned that billions of people are at risk of climate-related devastation and called for immediate action to address this “planetary crisis”.
This message aligns with recent warnings from the United Nations about the need for dramatic changes to reduce global warming.
