London — Pope Francis took to British airwaves Friday morning with a call for radical decisions and rapid action at the pivotal COP26 climate summit, saying the political leaders and diplomats descending on the United Kingdom are "urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis" both for people today and for future generations.
"The political decision-makers who will meet at COP26 in Glasgow are urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations," Francis said.
(M)oments of difficulty like these also present opportunities, opportunities that we must not waste. We can confront these crises by retreating into isolationism, protectionism and exploitation. Or we can see in them a real chance for change, a genuine moment of conversion, and not simply in a spiritual sense."
"It means giving priority to the common good, and it calls for a change in perspective, a new outlook, in which the dignity of every human being, now and in the future, will guide our ways of thinking and acting."
The BBC radio address was Francis' latest in a string of messages this year calling for radical actions to emerge from COP26. On Oct. 4, he joined other religious leaders in a joint appeal to leaders who will gather in Glasgow.
They called for nations to implement policies that will limit average temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and for more industrialized countries to deliver on pledges of financing to help emerging economies mitigate climate change and build resilience to the impacts they are already experiencing and those still to come.
