Pope Francis will call for a “drastic reduction in carbon emissions and lash out against “economic powers that are opposing efforts to combat climate change, according to an early draft of his forthcoming encyclical on the environment.

教皇方济各(Pope Francis)即将发表的一则关于环境的通谕初稿显示，他将呼吁“大幅减少碳排放，并抨击那些抵制抗击气候变化努力的“经济大国。

The Vatican was due to publish the document — which counts as the highest form of papal teaching in the Catholic Church — on Thursday, but Italian magazine L’Espresso released a 192-page version on Monday.

梵蒂冈计划于周四发布这则通谕，但意大利杂志L’Espresso周一发布了一份192页的初稿文本。通谕是天主教会最高形式的教廷文书。

 

 

Although Vatican officials warned that the text was not final, it nonetheless offered a clear and detailed picture of the 78-year-old Argentine pontiff’s message on the environment, which could emerge as the most enduring legacy of his tenure at the helm of the 1.2bn-strong Catholic Church.

虽然梵蒂冈的官员警告说，这一文本并非最终版本，但它已清晰、详细地展现了这位78岁高龄的阿根廷籍教皇在环境问题上的立场，可能成为他执掌拥有逾12亿信徒的天主教会任期内留下的最永恒遗产。
