Pope Francis, a consistent advocate for tackling climate change, has once again emphasized its pressing significance and far-reaching effects on the entire world. 

Just as in previous instances, the Pope used his Twitter platform where he stressed the urgency of taking action to address this global issue. 

"Many countries are experiencing extreme climatic events," Pope Francis wrote in a July 23 tweet. "I reiterate my appeal to the leaders of Nations, that something more tangible be done to limit polluting emissions: it is an urgent challenge and affects everyone. Let us protect our common home!"

Last July, the Vatican's Casino Pio IV was the venue for a significant event organized by The Pontifical Academy of Sciences. The two-day conference centered around the theme: "Resilience of People and Ecosystems under Climate Stress." This conference aimed to shed light on the challenges of climate change, and focused on two specific issues: “lessening climate risks by reducing emissions” and “assisting and enabling people to adapt to progressively worsening changes to the climate," according to the Pope, Inside the Vatican reported.

During this year's Laudato Si' Week, which took place from May 21st to May 28th, the world commemorated the 8th anniversary of Pope Francis' encyclical titled "Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home," released in 2015. The encyclical significantly focuses on environmental concerns, building upon the Church's long standing teachings on creation. Within the pages of "Laudato Si'," Pope Francis passionately called upon the Church and every individual across the globe to acknowledge the urgent nature of environmental threats, including the looming issue of global warming. He emphasized the need for a collective endeavor to protect our planet and encouraged everyone to take active steps towards its preservation, according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

"The climate is a common good, belonging to all and meant for all," said the Pope in "Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home". "At the global level, it is a complex system linked to many of the essential conditions for human life. A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system."

During his address at St. Peter's Square on Sunday, the Pope mentioned recent heat waves that have affected numerous regions worldwide and the devastating floods in countries like South Korea. Reuters reported the Pope stressed the urgency of taking action in response to these climate-related events and pleaded with world leaders "to do something more concrete to limit polluting emissions."
