Patriarch calls for measures to avert climate change

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Vartholomeos) issued an appeal to the international community to take measures to avert “more unfortunate consequences of the climate change” in view of the imminent UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December and an environmental conference in Bangkok.
“Reaching a good agreement in Copenhagen is a moral obligation in order to save the world and is also the only path to economic and social survival,” the Ecumenical Patriarch stressed, adding that “dealing with climate change should not be regarded as economic burden but as an important opportunity for a healthier planet to the benefit of all humanity; the states that are not as developed, in particular.”
“The crucial nature of the situation, and the scientific and technological progress, show that global economy should turn toward renewable energy sources and avert further deforestation,” the Ecumenical Patriarch stressed, adding that this is an obligation toward the children of the world.
