What to say


General

  • Quote Tweet: https://x.com/ClimateEnvoy/status/1709912230513217758?s=20

    • COP28 is a great place to put @Pontifex's call to action into practice. We must do more to protect our climate and each other from the health and economic consequences of climate change, and we must act now because our #ClimateCantWait.

This #ClimateFriday, catch up on @Pontifex' bold call to action in "Laudate Deum," his continuation of "Laudato si" https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2023-10/laudate-deum-pope-francis-climate-crisis-laudato-si.html

  • "...it is indubitable that the impact of climate change will increasingly prejudice the lives and families of many persons.”


We agree with @Pontifex in his recently published "Laudate Deum," which outlines the action we must take to tackle climate change. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2023-10/laudate-deum-pope-francis-climate-crisis-laudato-si.html 


Faith-Focused

  • Pope Francis published "Laudate Deum" Wednesday as a call to members of the Church, other religions, and world leaders to #ActOnClimate. This type of leadership is critical as we work to protect our communities from the climate crisis. #ClimateFriday https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2023-10/laudate-deum-pope-francis-climate-crisis-laudato-si.html 

  • “With the passage of time, I have realized that our responses have not been adequate, while the world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point."


Our faith calls us to take action on the climate crisis. #ClimateFriday https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2023-10/laudate-deum-pope-francis-climate-crisis-laudato-si.html
