As world leaders gathered at the U.N. climate conference to figure out how to deal with climate change, faith organizations found their voices through protests.

Leaders gathered in Egypt for the U.N. climate summit have “a moral obligation” to act seriously and together to safeguard the planet and to offer concrete aid to people suffering the “more frequent and more serious humanitarian impacts caused by climate change,” said Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

As the latest U.N. climate change summit began, some faith and civil organizations had a long wish list of what they hoped it would achieve.

Baltimore-based Catholic Relief Services is kicking off a campaign to build greater Catholic response to climate change and foster greater awareness of how climate change affects vulnerable communities.
