Pope Francis expresses his support for ambitious agreement aimed at inclusive development

“For an ambitious agreement, for every initiative and process aimed at truly inclusive development, I assure you of my support,” said Pope Francis in his message to the participants of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Baku, AzVision.az reports.

" The scientific data available to us do not allow any further delay and make it clear that the preservation of creation is one of the most urgent issues of our time and we have to recognise that it is closely interrelated with the preservation of peace”.

The Pope underscored that “we should act and live as members of one family inhabiting the same interconnected global village.”

“May the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities” guide and inspire the work of these weeks. Let historical and present responsibilities become concrete and forward-looking commitments for the future, so that a New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance, among the most urgent of this Conference, can emerge from these weeks of work," Pope Francis emphasized.

The message was read by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See.
