A United Religious Voice on Climate Change
On Monday, 4 October, Feast of St Francis, at “Faith and Science: An Appeal for COP26” in Rome, Pope Francis and almost 40 religious leaders of many faiths signed a joint appeal to governments to commit to ambitious targets at the upcoming U.N. climate conference, COP 26: "We plead with the international community, gathered at COP26, to take speedy, responsible and shared action to safeguard, restore and heal our wounded humanity and the home entrusted to our stewardship," the faith declaration said. "We appeal to everyone on this planet to join us on this common journey, knowing well that what we can achieve depends not only on opportunities and resources, but also on hope, courage, solidarity and good will."
