World bishops' appeal to COP 21 negotiating parties

Description

In preparation for the 2015 United Nations Negotiations in Paris, the heads of Catholic bishops' federations on every continent issued a joint appeal to COP 21 delegates that they produce a "comprehensive and transformational agreement" to address global climate crisis. Salient themes include the challenges and opportunities of climate change, and sustainable development to benefit the poor. They also call for leaders to become motivated to work towards enforceable agreements.
