Pope: COP28 must lead to ‘a decisive acceleration of energy transition’

Just a few weeks before the climate conference in Dubai (COP28), Pope Francis has called on politicians and business leaders to do more to protect the climate and speed up the energy transition. In a new letter, intended as a continuation of the social encyclical „Laudato Si“ published in 2015, Francis warns with regard to the climate crisis: „The world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point.“
