![[OPINION] Pope Francis’ ‘Laudate Deum’: Inspiring climate action](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2023/10/8/rapplerdotcom/opinion-pope-francis-laudate-deum-inspiring-climat-opinion-pope-francis-laudate-deum-inspiring-climat-0E4FDEDB8C286A9206968C603DE47F5F.webp)
The 'Laudate Deum' has the potential to fuel accelerated climate solutions worldwide, especially in a predominantly Catholic country like the Philippines
takes “a look at what has happened and say what needs to be done.” It has the potential to fuel accelerated climate solutions worldwide, especially in a predominantly Catholic country like the Philippines.
Yet in the eight years that have passed, the narrative has remained largely the same: climate action is nowhere near enough to keep up with the rapidly-changing climate. Look no further than the Philippines, which experienced 5 of the 10 most destructive storms in its history during that span, along with the El Niño-enhanced drought in 2015-16, and rising sea levels up to three times faster than the global average.
The twisted perspective on “meritocracy” was also tackled in this document, specifically as a backdrop for the apathy of those with the power and resources to initiate action. The mentality of not caring about taking care of our common home, born from the belief of being shielded by wealth accumulated over time, and furthering injustices and inequalities must be addressed, per the Pope.
