THE WORLD THIS WEEK
Global peace depends on world leaders’ response to the climate crisis, Pope Leo told COP30.
“If you want peace, care for creation,” the Pope said in a message delivered to the thirtieth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as it met in the Brazilian city of Belém on Friday.
He identified “a clear link between peacebuilding and the stewardship of creation” and “an ever-growing awareness that peace is also threatened by a lack of due respect for creation, by the plundering of natural resources and by a progressive decline in the quality of life because of climate change”.
Leo called for “international cooperation and a cohesive and forward-looking multilateralism” focusing on the “sacredness of life” and the common good, criticising “political approaches and human behaviours that go in the opposite direction, characterised by collective selfishness, disregard for others and short-sightedness”.
