The Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), Archbishop Charles Balvo, told the United Nations Environment Assembly, that failure to curb pollution could prove catastrophic. “Humanity is at a turning point, a moment when it is confronted both with the enormous challenges as well as the opportunity of addressing air, water, soil and land pollution that threaten the existence of our planet”, said Archbishop Balvo, as he delivered the Holy See’s statement to the 3rd session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-3).
