His Holiness Pope Francis welcomes and blesses a group of international climate walkers embarking on a 60-day ‘People’s Pilgrimage’ - a 1,200 km walk from Rome to Paris to galvanise world governments and corporations to commit and take necessary action on climate change when they meet at the UN climate conference in Paris in December.
“Our every step will help move us closer to achieve climate justice for those who have been personally impacted by extreme weather events and yet are the least responsible for causing the climate crisis,” said
Yeb Saño, the Spiritual Ambassador of Our Voices who briefed the Pope on the world’s first climate change and human rights complaint filed by typhoon survivors, climate advocates and international NGOs, including Greenpeace Southeast Asia.
