We look at Pope Francis’ new apostolic exhortation up until the start of the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference (COP28) on November 30 in Dubai.
69 – 70. I cannot deny ... the most effective solutions will not come from individual efforts alone, but above all from major political decisions on the national and international level...Nonetheless, every little bit helps, ... there are no lasting changes without cultural changes, ... and there are no cultural changes without personal changes.
Reflection
What cultural changes are needed to address climate change? Consider the recommendations of Take the Jump. What would your life be like if you incorporated some of their recommendations?
Action
Make the Laudate Deum Action Pledge from the Catholic Climate Covenant. Pray for Pope Francis and his historic address on December 2 to the COP28 summit. May those listening be moved to bold action.
