VATICAN CITY: To commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015 and the upcoming Climate Ambition Summit 2020 slated for 12 December, the Vatican Covid-19 Commission and its partners, in collaboration with the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) organized a webinar on Wednesday.
The online event titled “Faith, Science and Youth: A call for an ambitious climate summit” aims to highlight the need to urge governments to raise their ambition for tackling the climate emergency.
It gathered global voices from faith, science and youth to discuss concrete ways to simultaneously address the ongoing Covid-19 health crisis and the climate crisis through “a just and sustainable recovery of economies and society that puts people and the planet before profit.”
