Take action on climate change at .
The global climate crisis will require us to transform the way we act, says His Holiness Pope Francis. Delivering a visionary TED Talk from Vatican City, the spiritual leader proposes three courses of action to address the world's growing environmental problems and economic inequalities, illustrating how all of us can work together, across faiths and societies, to protect the Earth and promote the dignity of everyone. "The future is built today," he says. "And it is not built in isolation, but rather in community and in harmony." (English voiceover by Bruno Giussani. Watch this talk in Italian at go.ted.com/papafrancesco and Spanish at go.ted.com/papafrancisco)
This talk was part of the Countdown Global Launch on 10.10.2020. (Watch the full event: .) Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at

@jklau544 Good quote, should be in a quote book somewhere
@TangerineTangerine Also, Passover is a Christian holy-day, not Easter. Easter, and its eggs and rabbits, are all grounded in paganism, while Passover and Resurrection Sunday is what Christians celebrate.
@Stephanie R. S. Don’t be purposefully difficult. According to Wikipedia:
Easter, also called Pascha (Aramaic, Greek, Latin)[nb 2] or Resurrection Sunday,[nb 3] is a Christian festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.
And according to dictionary:
Definition of Easter
: a feast that commemorates Christ’s resurrection and is observed with variations of date due to different calendars on the first Sunday after the paschal full moon
@Darkside Hooligan in my life there is a God
Oh boy the comments will be fun on this one.
And so they should. This white robe puppet is just part of the evil system that’s running this world. And unfortunately, the masses are oblivious to it still, although the show is in front of their very eyes.
@animalcol1 What ? no frozen coke too ? or a choc top ?
@animalcol1 Don’t forget your mask! lmfao
The pope is to the fight against climate change what Santa Claus is to the fight against domestic violence
I agree
TED people, a suggestion. Francisco’s speech is addressed to the whole world and the subject is also of worldwide interest. Put subtitles on this video, please! As many languages as possible, as in other videos on the channel.
Thanks for this one!
The subtitles are contributed by private people, not by Ted themselves (they just approve them for publishing)
I might be inclined to listen to him talking about moral imperatives if he had acted on the issue of pedophile priests.
From the word printed on that paper even 🙂
“I will pray for the poor while sitting on my gold throne”
I hope you aren’t extending this type of thought only to pope Francis, there are so many similar televangelists in the US that are even worse, at least the catholics somewhat follow science.
but what is he saying is not wrong
Didn’t he replace it with a wooden one?
@qwerty qwerty Still gold adorned, the other one wasnt pure gold either lol
Get God to do it
Read the book of Revelation. God’s allowing these things to happen for a while before He returns to judge the world for its iniquities.
@Stephanie R. S. Your stupidity is cridge enducing. The bible / Iron age fairytale isn’t real.
You are the god now. Act.
even a broken clock is right twice a day.

My Nothingness: **grabs popcorn**
ted comment section, ah geez, here we go again
Happy Easter! <3
Happy Easter!
happy religious fairy tales day
Never let a good crisis go to waste
The ‘Little Horn’ in revelation.
@Telmo prl what do you mean not revealed yet? the papacy is the only thing that fits the description.
@NI0VATN He may not be the one
@NI0VATN if we are still here for tribulation won’t there be confusion with 2 different Gospels?
@NI0VATN remember the other ten horns have no kingdom yet
The great harlot
So right! Thank you
I wish the translator was optional
I thought it was – there was a talk by the pope in latin awhile back. Part of the countdown climate thing.
Mais uma do papão
Papão Francisco falou, ta falado
Can we listen to this without the voice over anywhere??
The only church that iluminates its the one burning

Is there a non-dubbed version? Studying Italian and this would be an interesting resource 🙂
