Pope Francis asks to act “immediately” with a vision of the future after COP26 climate summit
The Pope Francis asked the international community act “immediately, with courage and vision for the future” on climate change , hours after the COP 26 ended with timid advances and promises from rich countries regarding the elimination of fossil fuels, but without major advances.

“I encourage all who have political responsibilities and economic actions to act immediately or, with courage and vision of f uturo ”, he added before the dozens of people gathered in the Vatican’s Saint Peter’s Square to listen to his words.
He also launched an appeal “to all to exercise active citizenship for the care of the common home. ”
