Third World War Against Nature

In an address on 26 June, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew warned that a third world war—this one against nature—is being waged. 

He offered the address upon receiving an honorary degree from the School of the Environment at Ionian University.

“Undoubtedly, the natural environment is threatened in our time as never before in the past,” he said. “The consequences of the ecological crisis know no borders of states and civilizations, and affect the conditions of survival not only of the human race, but also of life in general on the planet.”
