Pope Francis is urging nations to fight climate
change.
In his message Tuesday on the day Christian
Churches mark the "World Day of Prayer for
the Care of Creation", he stressed that the
time to fix the climate emergency is running
out.
He called on the need to continue to fight
global warming, according to the 2015 Paris
climate accord.
The Pope's message comes as the World Meteorological
Organization announced this year's summer
had major impact on ice shelves and glaciers.
It said the summer of 2020 was marked by many
record-high temperatures, and warned that
the consequences of a warming Arctic will
be far-reaching across the northern hemisphere.
