CWN Editor's Note: In a brief video message, Pope Francis encouraged the Red de Universidades para el Cuidado de la Casa Común. (Network of Universities for the Care of the Common Home) in its efforts to promote “ecological, social, and environmental justice.”

“I know you are about to carry out synodal work of discernment in preparation for COP30,” said Pope Leo said, referring to the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference.

“You will reflect together on a possible remission of the public debt and of the ecological debt, a proposal that Pope Francis had suggested in his message for the World Day of Peace,” Pope Leo continued. “And in this jubilee year, a year of hope, this message is so important.”
