Here\u2019s what we know so far. A puff of white smoke, a procession of Swiss Guards, and Habemus Papus: we have Pope Leo XIV. Most people knew little about Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost before he became head of the Catholic Church yesterday, but his views are now the subject of intense speculation and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>What does the first US-born Pope\u2019s appointment mean for climate change and environmental issues? Will he be a strong successor to Pope Francis, who was credited with being an \u201cunflinching global champion of climate action\u201dTime will tell, but there are reasons to be hopeful that the 69-year-old Pontiff will take up his predecessor\u2019s mantle on this vital global front.<\/p>\n<p>New Pope Leo &#8221;is outspoken about the need for urgent action on climate change&#8221;, according to the College of Cardinals Report, an initiative from an international team of Catholic journalists and researchers which profiles would-be Popes to help the cardinals make an informed choice. Last November, during a seminar in Rome dedicated to discussing climate change, then-Cardinal Prevost stressed it is time to move \u201cfrom words to action.\u201d He said the answer to this challenge must be based on the Social Doctrine of the Church. \u201cDominion over nature\u201d &#8211; the task which God gave humanity &#8211; should not become \u201ctyrannical,\u201d he said. It must be a \u201crelationship of reciprocity\u201d with the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Prevost &#8211; who was president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America and Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops &#8211; cautioned against the \u201charmful\u201d consequences of technological development. He reiterated the Holy See\u2019s commitment to protecting the environment, pointing to a simpler embrace of existing green technology, such as the Vatican installing solar panels and shifting to electric vehicles. According to the College of Cardinals Report, &#8221;He aligns closely with Pope Francis\u2019 environmental priorities.&#8221; Prevost spent many years working as a missionary in Peru, where he also holds citizenship. Christine Allen, director and chief executive of Catholic aid agency CAFOD, says this means he \u201cbrings with him the vital perspective of the Global South, elevating voices from the margins to centre stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more&gt;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/05\/09\/pope-francis-was-a-passionate-climate-advocate-will-pope-leo-xiv-continue-his-legacy\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/pope-francis-was-a-passionate-climate-advocate-will-pope-leo-xiv-continue-his-legacy\/\">Pope Francis was a passionate climate advocate.
