Science at the Heart of the Vatican’s Pan-European Climate Summit

/0 Comments/in /by

 

The Vatican Pan-European Climate Resilience Summit, held from 28 to 29 August in Vienna, brought together mayors, youth leaders, scientists, innovators, and policymakers to tackle Europe’s most urgent climate threats. It was hosted by the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences with European partners; the summit spotlighted solutions in mitigation, adaptation, and societal transformation. Outcomes from Vienna will feed directly into the 2026 Vatican Global Summit, shaping a Universal Protocol for Climate Resilience to protect people and ecosystems across generations.

This was a Summit of hope, and one of the key participants was Ingmar Rentzhog, Founder and CEO of the global, pro-planet platform We Don’t Have Time. One of the things We Don’t Have Time did was to create a special video, which discusses the importance of facing the reality of the climate crisis and not denying scientific facts. This short film emphasises the need for people to speak up and take action, as the majority of the global population wants to address the issue.

Importantly, this film highlights the Vatican and the Pontifical Academy, which are working together to bring people from different backgrounds together to raise awareness and make a change. The video also mentions the inclusivity of the event and the importance of making science a priority.𝅺

And a highlight for me is that my book, What Will Your Legacy Be? – Conversations With Global Change-Makers About The Climate Crisis, has a walk-on part in the film. Can you spot it?

London Climate Action Week 2025 took place this June from 21 to 29, and it was action-packed. An annual event that aims to mobilise climate action in London and beyond, bringing together organisations, communities, and individuals to address climate change.

The week featured a wide range of events, including conferences, workshops, and collaborative discussions, focusing on practical solutions and showcasing London’s role as a global climate leader. I was pleased to be invited to the We Don’t Have Time Live Broadcast, which was a session focused on Making Science Great Again. It was a great panel lineup that included the eminent climate scientist Sir David King; Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., President & Founder, Hip Hop Caucus; Ingmar Rentzhog, CEO and Co-Founder of the We Don’t Have Time platform; and me!

Make Science Great Again is a campaign focused on defending science, amplifying its voice, and reeducating policymakers. It aims to counter disinformation, support scientists, and ensure science plays a vital role in addressing global challenges like climate change. The campaign emphasizes the importance of dialogue and collaboration to achieve these goals.

Did you watch this brilliant and honest conversation with Ingmar Rentzhog CEO and Co-Founder of We Don’t Have Time about the climate crisis? Well don’t worry, you can watch it here. This video since its release on 7 September has had 947K views alone on Twitter also known as X.

And yes the cat is out of the bag, I am writing my third book, for publication in 2024. It is a pro-planet book, about legacy and climate change, with a diversity of voices. This book draws on the inspiration from the success, of CSR Is Not PR and includes ‘in conversations’ with global change makers about the climate crisis.
