Pope Francis has written a new message calling for world leaders to tackle the climate crisis and make the most of the upcoming COP28 climate summit.

The Pope says the climate disasters we’ve seen in recent times show we’re approaching “breaking point”. He warns we’re running out of time to prevent even more tragic damage for communities that have contributed least to causing the crisis.

With COP28 just a month away, it’s crucial MPs hear about the Pope’s message.
 

The Pope says in his message, called Laudate Deum, that leaders attending the COP28 talks must put the interests of our global family first in the negotiations. He warns that people in communities on the frontline of the climate crisis will suffer the consequences if decision-makers fail to do so.

That’s why we’ve produced a summary of the Pope’s message for MPs, and why we’re asking you to share this summary with your MP, as one of their constituents.

We’ve set up an easy way for you to share the summary with your MP, so please take two minutes to send them an email via our website. The message will include a link to the summary.

Let’s pray that leaders will take the action we need at COP28.
 

Thank you for adding your voice to Pope Francis’ call.
