Pope Francis will meet Saturday with U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, who is also a keynote speaker at a Vatican conference on financial solidarity and climate change.
Kerry, who currently serves as the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, is in Europe to meet with government officials and business leaders ahead of the Nov. 1-12 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, the State Department said.
Pope Francis is reportedly considering a visit to Glasgow for the climate conference, and local authorities are said to be preparing for the possibility.
Ahead of his meeting with the pope, Kerry was due to deliver a keynote speech at the “Dreaming of a Better Restart” conference, a closed-door meeting in Vatican City on May 14.
The conference, hosted by the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences, has panel discussions on debt relief for developing countries and climate action to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit).
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Raj Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, both spoke at the Vatican event via video link.
Economists Jeffrey Sachs and Joseph Stiglitz came to the Vatican to take part in the one-day event, as did economic ministers from Mexico, Argentina, Spain, France, and Germany.

I honestly think I have lost my mind. Or the world has gone insane.
Two imbeciles talking about a subject neither has a clue about.
It is hard to imagine two men less suited for such a discussion.
What’s to discuss? “It’s all bull shit. Thanks for having me”.
Two of most vacuous “Deep Thinkers” of our Modern Times.
Yikes.
A coupla pompous dooshes out to remake the World into their own image.
Might as well make it the perfect trifecta by inviting Dr. Fauci there as well,
LOL. The Babylonbee is hard pressed these days to come up with satire. CNA has the rep in conservative Catholic circles as about that of CNN - that is to say none whatsoever.
“It is hard to imagine two men less suited for such a discussion.”
Pope & Obama started it off.
Who in the hell is impressed with this news ?
Two commies discussing anything is ridiculous.
Lately the Vatican is having ton of conferences, open and closed, all featuring financial solidarity, global warming, covid, and the great reset. I feel sick.
Meeting of the mindless.
Join the club!
Can Kerry purchase a one day license for that?
I’m sure they will discuss fire, brimstone, flooding but not a tax scheme that ushers in Marxism.
Can Kerry purchase a one-day license for that?
Well you are not alone as I feel the same way, it appears the world is going from dumb to stupid.
The left will never let this hoax go. Cons never give up the con.
“panel discussions on debt relief for developing countries”
I hope they put the USA on that “developing country” list because that’s where we are going to be real soon with the unbelievable debt load.
