We look at Pope Francis’ new apostolic exhortation up until the start of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) on November 30 in Dubai.
15, 18. Some effects of the climate crisis are already irreversible, at least for several hundred years, ... What is being asked of us is nothing other than a certain responsibility for the legacy we will leave behind, once we pass from this world.
Reflection
LD is an “exhortation”; Pope Francis is calling us to act! Are we doing enough to address climate change? According to the World Bank, in 2020 the U.S. emitted 13.0 metric tons of carbon dioxide per person, Canada emitted 13.6, United Kingdom 4.6, Haiti 0.3.
Action
Urge our political leaders to take bold and just climate action at COP28.
