All religious faiths must guard our
common home together, Pope Francis said in a message of greeting
on the occasion of the inauguration of the Faith Pavilion in
Dubai, as part of the COP28 climate summit on Sunday.
The urgency to act in the face of the "climate drama" that is
also a "religious drama" was underlined by the pope, who was
prevented for attending the summit - the first climate
conference in which the Holy See is an active participant and
not just observer with moral suasion - by a bout of acute
bronchitis and a fever.
Francis emphasised that faiths are obliged to guard the common
home together: "Preserve creation, the little ones and the poor
ask us to do so".
From COP28, meanwhile, some 20 countries including the US,
France and the United Arab Emirates, jointly called for a
tripling of the world's nuclear energy capacity by 2050,
compared to 2020, to reduce dependence on coal and gas, the main
challenge of this summit.
