GLOBAL CATHOLIC CLIMATE MOVEMENT

“On climate change, there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act.” — Pope Francis

in December 2015, world leaders will meet in the united nations climate summitat Paris with the goal of signing a treaty to tackle climate change. Through thispetition we urge our political leaders to commit to ambitious climate action andsolve this urgent crisis, with the goal of keeping the global temperature increasebelow 1.5 degree celsius relative to pre-industrial levels (aligned with the catholicBishops’ 2014 lima statement). For more information, see climate change facts andcatholic teachings on climate change. Please sign the petition at:http://catholicclimatemovement.global/petition/
