UN leader asks Francis’ help in addressing climate change
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said at the Vatican Tuesday that he is awaiting the "moral support" of Pope Francis' voice on climate change. Cardinal Peter Turkson also gave a wide-ranging talk on the need for what he called a “fundamental change of course” regarding how humans treat the earth.
The head of the United Nations has praised Pope Francis’ efforts to address environmental issues like climate change, and has said he is counting on the pontiff to put moral backing behind global political initiatives to tackle the issue head-on.
