The leaders of the three largest Christian churches issued a joint statement Tuesday calling on the world to address the growing threat of climate change.
The first-ever joint address by Pope Francis, the archbishop of Canterbury and the spiritual leader of the Orthodox Church asked fellow Christians to pray in the run-up to November’s United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, that world leaders will reach significant agreements to curb greenhouse gas emissions and slow the rate of global warming.
“We call on everyone, whatever their belief or world view, to endeavor to listen to the cry of the earth and of people who are poor, examining their behavior and pledging meaningful sacrifices for the sake of the earth which God has given us,” said Francis, Archbishop Justin Welby of the Anglican Communion and Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I.
The three religious leaders represent Christian denominations that count more than 1.6 billion members worldwide. In 2015, Francis published “Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality: On Care for Our Common Home,” which laid out the scientific case that man-made greenhouse gas emissions were pushing global temperatures to unsafe levels and that the poor were beginning to suffer the worst consequences.
