The COP28 climate summit will take place at the end of what is set to be the hottest year on record. • Leaders gathering for the 2023 UN climate talks, which start on 30 November, will be doing so in the final weeks of a year that has seen climate disasters affect communities worldwide. • Forest fires have forced people to flee homes and hotels in the Mediterranean. Floods in Libya have killed thousands. And away from the front pages, tens of millions of people in East Africa have been struggling to access food due to the worst drought in more than 40 years. • This is why Pope Francis has said the world is approaching “breaking point”. The Holy Father has warned that we are running out of time to avoid even worse climate catastrophes for people in communities that have contributed least to causing the climate emergency. • It’s crucial we add our voices to the Pope’s call for leaders at the COP in the United Arab Emirates to put the interests of our global family first. We’ve set out some of the ways you can campaign with CAFOD to call for leaders to take the action we need at the COP. • • --- • • CAFOD stands for the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development.
