Pope Francis said in his Earth Day message on Thursday that the planet was 'at the brink' and humanity had to avoid 'the path of self destruction.'

Philip Pullella

The pope, who has issued many appeals for environmental protection since his election in 2013, spoke in two video messages, one for the Earth Day Live internet event and another for a global climate summit hosted by US President Joe Biden. "When the destruction of nature is sparked, it is difficult to stop. But we are still in time and we will be more resilient if we work together instead of alone," he said.
