At UN, Pope Francis decries global 'culture of waste,' urges action to ensure integral development for all
In this, the fifth time that a Pope has visited the UN, Pope Francis also highlighted the importance of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, set to be adopted by UN Member States later this morning, and the upcoming climate conference in Paris, and warned that the realities in the Middle East and Africa were grave.
“I must renew my repeated appeals regarding the painful situation of the entire Middle East, North Africa and other African countries,” said Pope Francis, “These realities should serve as a grave summons to an examination of conscience on the part of those charged with the conduct of international affairs.”
