Pope Francis, who died at 88, was a pivotal figure in framing climate change as a moral and spiritual issue. His 2015 encyclical, 'Laudato Si', called for global action and highlighted the disproportionate impact of environmental degradation on the poor. This perspective helped shift the narrative around climate change from a purely political or scientific debate to a pressing moral obligation. His advocacy inspired world leaders during the Paris Agreement negotiations and encouraged environmentalists by linking faith with stewardship of the Earth.
