VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis revealed Wednesday he will publish an update to his seminal 2015 thesis on the environment in October, just weeks before the next round of UN climate talks.
The 86-year-old pontiff earlier this month mentioned plans to write a second part of 'Laudato Si' but gave no details beyond saying it would address 'current issues.'His so-called encyclical in 2015 laid the blame for global warming squarely on humanity's shoulders and was seen as influential in United Nations climate talks in Paris later that year that led to landmark commitments.
'It is necessary to stand with the victims of environmental and climate injustice, striving to bring an end to the senseless war on our common home, which is a terrible world war.' Earlier this month, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the updated document would focus in particular on recent extreme weather events and catastrophes across the world.
