The Global Catholic Climate Movement – for God’s Creation, the Poor and future generations is echoing the call of Pope Francis,
“On climate change – there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act.”
| The Global Catholic Climate Movement formed from almost 100 Catholic organizations concerned about human-made climate change. United by their Catholic faith, they came together as a movement to care for God’s creation, for the poor – who are the most vulnerable to climate disruption – and for our children, who will face the worst impacts in the coming years. |  |
 |
They encourage Catholics to renew our relationship with creation and with their brothers and sisters in poverty, and urge political leaders to commit to ambitious climate action to solve this urgent crisis and keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 degree Celsius (relative to pre-industrial levels). |
| In 2 days GCCM is starting Care4Creation Month, joining Pope Francis’ universal prayer intention for April 2015: “That people may learn to respect creation and care for it as a gift of God”. They are inviting Catholic parishes and communities to: |  |
 |
