ROME — The Vatican has called for a “responsible, unprecedented collective response” to the “momentous challenge” of climate change.
Speaking on behalf of Pope Francis, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said in an online address Monday to the Climate Adaptation Summit taking place in the Netherlands that climate change “represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day.”
“The scientific data at our disposal clearly show the urgent need for swift action,” Cardinal Parolin said. “The transition to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a problem not only of the domain of technology, but also a question of consumption patterns, education, and lifestyles.”
The cardinal said that Pope Francis wished to assure participants in the Climate Adaptation Summit “of his closeness, support and encouragement in these days of intense effort.”
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation activities must go hand-in-hand with strengthening adaptation and resilience, Parolin said. “This is a moral and humanitarian imperative, especially since the greatest negative consequences of climate change often affect the most vulnerable: the poor and future generations.”
“Complementarity mitigation and adaptation activities require coming up with a global and shared long-term strategy based on precise commitments, capable of defining and promoting a new model of development and built on the synergistic bond between the fight against climate change and the struggle against poverty,” he said.
The cardinal took advantage of the address to reiterate the pope’s call for increased multilateralism.

Why is the pope so adamant about climate issues? Shouldn’t he be more concerned with advancing the kingdom of Heaven?
I’m not catholic nor do I closely follow the pope and his edicts, bulls, or public statements, but nothing this pope says that makes headlines is spiritual in nature.
Fleecing the parishioners with lies. Pitiful.
“unprecedented collective response”
AKA stale communist response.
Are the churches going to pass a collection plate for the Climate every week now as well?
Dear Pope Marx,
Tear down your walls and embrace the invading Islamists.
child rape and DARING to interfere
with other country’s elections is far more real
and evil that should be stopped FIRST, should they not?
So, does the Popester ride a bicycle to all of his events?
Does anybody remember the time Jesus panicked over the weather? Me neither. He was in a boat asleep with the Disciples. Does the Pope even read/believe in the Bible?
“put...the...money...in....the...plate...and ...you...can...all...go....hooo-oome”

Where have I heard that before?
Oh yeah ...
Why doesn’t the Vatican spend less time in politicians and more time with the Divine Creator of the universe?
Because Jorge Bergoglio is too interested in blessing pagan idols.
‘...pope insisted that multilateralism “is God’s plan for our world.”’
What does that mean?
Basically:
- Re-distribution of wealth - from Western Nations to 3rd World Countries.
- Re-population - free moving 3rd worlders into western nations via open borders and assisted migration.
Because it’s a business first......why do you think all the nation leaders want to met the Pope? The Vatican is the largest money laundering operation on earth!
‘Collectivism’,.....by three or more parties, especially by the governments of different countries....with a Governing body determining how everything runs and is distributed....ie: One world Governance.
because they are are screwing little boys.
I’m a Catholic. This ashole needs to be thrown in the Tiber.
