LETTER | A faith-based appeal for European leadership at COP31
The European Laudato Si’ Alliance and 70 other Christian organizations across Europe have issued an appeal urging the European Union to show ambitious and just leadership at the COP31 climate summit.
The signatories, which include Catholic agencies, religious congregations, and justice organizations, ask the EU to speed up the phase-out of fossil fuels and increase climate finance. The group also recommends promoting agroecology and a just transition to address the climate crisis.
The appeal, rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, states that wealthier nations have a moral responsibility to act for the common good. The organizations urge European leaders to move past promises to deliver concrete actions that protect human dignity and support vulnerable communities in the Global South.
