From his papal name reflecting the natural world to his tireless moral leadership, Pope Francis offered a strong voice for the environment and the poorest and most vulnerable among us, global leaders said.
With the pope's passing on Monday at the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta at the age of 88, U.N. leaders recalled the pope as "an unflinching global champion of climate action" and "a tireless advocate for the rights and dignity of refugees, migrants and the forcibly displaced worldwide."
