In a speech on Wednesday, Pope Leo took aim at climate change deniers and urged governments to step up action against rising temperatures.
The new Catholic leader spoke at a conference marking the 10th anniversary of his predecessor Pope Francis's climate encyclical, saying there was "no room for indifference or resignation" on the issue, writes Financial Times.
"Everyone in society . . . must put pressure on governments to develop and implement more rigorous regulations, procedures and controls," he said in his speech, FT reports.
