00:00Well, thank you very much for this kind introduction.
00:06I'm next to an action hero.
00:17Now, you're laughing because he doesn't look maybe like one,
00:21like you see in the movies with the muscles and with the guns and all that stuff.
00:24No.
00:26But the reason why I call him an action hero is because as soon as he became the Pope,
00:30he ordered the Vatican to put solar panels on top of the buildings.
00:38Think about that.
00:39This will be one of the first states very soon to be carbon neutral.
00:45So let's give them a big hand for this great, great action.
00:51We can go and terminate pollution.
00:54We can go and wipe it out.
00:56If we all work together, if we all work together because God put us on this, in this earth,
01:04by leaving this earth a better place than we inherited it.
01:11So let's do it.
01:13Thank you very much.
01:14But I would like to add that if there is indeed an action hero with us this afternoon,
01:24it's all of you who are working together to make a difference.
01:29Pope Francis emphasized that the most effective solutions will not come from individual efforts
01:43alone, but above all, from major political decisions on the national and international
01:49levels.
01:50It is my hope that the upcoming international summits of the United Nations, the 2025 Climate
01:57Change Conference, COP30, the 53rd plenary session of the Committee on World Food Security,
02:05and the 2026 Water Conference will listen to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor,
02:12families, indigenous peoples, involuntary migrants, and believers throughout the world.
02:19Thank you very much.
