Pope Francis on Wednesday said he would attend the crucial COP28 climate talks starting in Dubai on November 30, weeks after warning that time is running out to act on global warming.
It will be the first time a pope has attended a COP meeting in person since the process began in 1995.
In early October, Francis published an update on his landmark thesis of the devastation of human-induced climate change that he released eight years ago, warning some damage was "already irreversible". "Laudato Si" ran to almost 200 pages and was aimed not just at the world's 1.3 billion Catholics, but everyone on the planet, a call to global solidarity to act together to protect "our common home".
But he said the Dubai talks "can represent a change of direction", if participants make binding agreements on moving from fossil fuels to clean energy sources such as wind and solar.The pope met Sultan Al Jaber, the president-designate of the COP28 talks, at the Vatican on October 11. "To say that there is nothing to hope for would be suicidal, for it would mean exposing all humanity, especially the poorest, to the worst impacts of climate change," wrote Francis.
