Vatican Climate Summit

The Vatican Climate Summit (15th-17th May 2024) brought together an international group of researchers, faith leaders, policymakers and civic heads to focus on climate change, biodiversity loss and global inequities and propose approaches to diminish climate risks, adapt to climate impacts, and foster societal transformation.

Pope Francis presided over the Climate Summit and added his support endorsing the urgent need for a universal and wholistic approach and resolute activity.

The three-day event culminated in the formulating of the Planetary Climate Resilience Protocol signed by all participants to be submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change to be shared with nations.
