Pope’s Encyclical a Powerful Call to Protect Our Common Home
Statement of EDF President Fred Krupp – June 18, 2015
“We are grateful to Pope Francis for the power and clarity of his call to protect the world we share. He has reminded us of our solemn responsibility to safeguard future generations — and the most vulnerable among us — from the dangers of climate change. We hope that people everywhere, and especially those in positions of power and influence, will reflect on his moral appeal to care for our common home and act on his message of urgency. The Papal Encyclical could be a turning point in our decades-long search for meaningful climate action. But it is up to all of us to make it so.”
