CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis is seriously considering an invitation to take part in the UN climate-change conference, COP28, in Dubai in November, The Pillar reports.

The Pontiff devoted a major portion of his recent apostolic exhortation, Laudate Deum, to the prospects for the COP28 conference. Sources at the Secretariat of State told The PIllar that an invitation to the conference is being “taken seriously.”

Organizers of a planned meeting between the Pope and World Youth Day organizers have disclosed that the papal audience has been cancelled. The audience was scheduled for November 30: the first day of the COP28 conference.
