In a message of greeting to a media forum in Rieti, Italy, on the protection of nature, Pope Francis said that the event should encourage reflection on "the common responsibility of the custodians of creation, and of the design of God written in nature."
The Pope encouraged participants in the conference to raise worldwide awareness of the need for sustainable development and a style of life that protects the environment.
The conference was co-sponsored by the Pontifical Council for the Family in conjunction with the environmental group Greenaccord.
