Pope Sends Regrets, Message And Prayers To COP26

Vatican City, Nov 2 (AP) Pope Francis says this year's UN climate conference will show whether there really exists a political will to do what it takes to mitigate climate change and to assist the poorer and more vulnerable nations most affected by it. Francis sent his regrets for not attending the conference, saying in a message read by the Vatican's No. 2 official, Cardinal Pietro Parolin: I had hoped to be with you in person in Glasgow, Scotland, but that was not possible. He added in the message, I accompany you, however, with my prayers as you take these important decisions. Francis has made caring for the planet's environmental health a key plank of his papacy since it began in 2013. Sadly, we must acknowledge how far we remain from achieving the goals set for tackling climate change, he wrote in his message for the COP26 conference..
