 "Climate change is not only bad news for Africa, it is bad news for the world." With these words, Jesuit priest, scientist, ecologist, and environmental ethicist, Peter Knox, dissects for us what was achieved at the just concluded UN Climate Change Conference,  COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland. He tells the story of our wounded earth and  invites us to listen to the cries of the earth and the lamentation of the poor. He  makes a passionate appeal to every one that we should  care for the poor and the vulnerable of this world and invites everyone to embrace the path of ecological conversion, a central appeal of  Pope Francis in Laudato Si' for the flourishing of people and the earth, our common home.
