TL;DR Summary

Pope Francis will release a new document on the environment on October 4th, serving as an update to his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si'. The document aims to address recent extreme weather events and catastrophes across five continents. The pope's encyclical was released ahead of the UN climate change conference in Paris and he has since continued to advocate for greater environmental action. The release date coincides with the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi and the final day of the "Season of Creation," an initiative promoting prayer and environmental action among Christians.
