Vatican representatives backs UN efforts on climate change



Catholic World News - May 21, 2014



“The Holy See is cognizant of the devastating impact of climate change,” a Vatican spokesman told a meeting of the World Health Assembly in Geneva. Archbishop Zygmunt Zimowski, the president of the Pontifical Council for Health Care, praised the UN agency for its work to promote “much desired rethinking and solidarity” on climate change. He encouraged the development of programs to address the problem, “especially climate-resilient pathways for sustainable development, as well as appropriate transformations in economic, social, technological and political decisions and actions.”

Archbishop Zimowski also praised the group for its work to promote awareness of the problem of autism and to encourage breastfeeding of infants.
