LONDON — Political leaders must give “concrete hope” to future generations that they are taking the radical steps needed to tackle climate change when they meet at COP26, Pope Francis said in a message released in Friday. The United Nation’s COP26 summit runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 12 in Glasgow, Scotland, and Pope Francis called for a “renewed sense of shared responsibility for our world” to spur action. ADVERTISEMENT“It is essential that each of us be committed to this urgent change of direction,” he said on BBC Radio. Pope Francis said the summit would be tough, but also represents an opportunity. Pope Francis warned against the danger of isolationism and protectionism in dealing with the climate crisis.
