Next month's COP26 climate summit in
Glasgow must offer "effective" responses to the climate crisis,
Pope Francis said Monday.
"The COP26 in Glasgow is urgently called on to offer effective
responses to the unprecedented ecological crisis and crisis in
values which we are living through, and thus offer concrete hope
to future generations: we wish to accompany it with out
commitment and our spiritual closeness," he told participants in
the 'Faith and Science: Towards COP26' meeting in the Vatican
including COP26 President-designate Alok Kumar Sharma and
Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio.
"Observing interdependence and sharing, the engine of love and
the vocation for respect, here are three keys that I think
illuminate our work for our care of our common home," he added.
Leaders of the world's main religions joined top scientisis in
appealing for action at the October 31-November 12 summit of
world leaders in the Scottish city.
