Vatican City, 28 April 2015 (VIS) -
Shortly after 9 a.m. this morning in the Casina Pio IV, seat of the
Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Holy Father briefly met with the
United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon, present at the Academy
for the subsequent opening presentation of the international workshop
“Protect the Earth, dignify humanity. The moral dimensions of
climate change and sustainable development”.
During the private audience the
secretary of the United Nations, as he explained in the following
press conference, expressed to the Pope his gratitude for having
agreed to address the Assembly of the United Nations this coming 25
September and remarked that he was looking forward to the Holy
Father’s discourse on the occasion and to his forthcoming

Nations’ current commitment not only to environmental issues, but
also to migrants and the dramatic humanitarian situations in the
areas of the world affected by conflicts.
