"A remarkable phenomenon is occurring today in Adventism.
Under the leadership of Pope Leo XIV, churches, economists, environmentalists, policymakers, and governments are working together to heal the earth.
Adventists, through the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), have formally joined COP30—the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place from November 10 to 21, 2025.
Adventists, through the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), have formally joined COP30—the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place from November 10 to 21, 2025.
This major global gathering has brought together heads of state, government officials, UN agencies, Vatican officials, multinational corporations, civil society groups, and religious organizations to negotiate and coordinate international climate policy.
By participating in COP30, ADRA stands alongside some of the world’s most influential political, religious, and economic leaders, contributing to discussions that aim to reshape global climate action, sustainability frameworks, and long-term environmental strategies in alignment with the agendas being advanced by the Vatican and the United Nations.
ADRA has recently published a report proudly highlighting its participation in COP30, presenting its involvement at the United Nations Climate Conference as an extension of the Seventh-day Adventist mission. In the report, ADRA emphasizes that engaging with global climate policymakers is part of their commitment to safeguarding humanity’s “common home,” language that imitates the environmental narratives promoted by papal encyclicals and UN mandates.
On November 5, 2025, ADRA published the following about COP30:
• “As the world prepares to gather in Belém, Brazil, for COP30, ADRA calls upon our global church family to join us in prayer, reflection, and action for creation, for justice, and for those most affected by the degeneration of the creation that has been gifted to us as stewards.”
• “The world is changing fast, and biodiversity loss, environmental degradation and immense changes in weather are no longer distant threats. They are here, shaping the lives of farmers who can no
longer predict their harvests, families who lose their homes to floods, and children whose futures are clouded by hunger and uncertainty.”
• “At COP30, ADRA represents this spirit of faith in action—Our Call: Fund. Protect. Partner.”
• “Communities on the frontlines of climate change are not waiting for others to act—they are already adapting, innovating, and caring for creation. But they cannot do it alone. We call on governments and institutions to provide direct, accessible, and fair climate finance—resources that reach local actors, faith-based organizations, and NGOs working hand in hand with communities. Faith in action means investing where it matters most.”
• “Love moves us to act with courage and hope—to heal, restore, and protect creation, our common home.”
• “As UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell recently said, ‘If we look past the noise, the facts show a world aligning with the Paris Agreement.’ Across our network, ADRA offices are already contributing to this transformation—reducing emissions, building resilience of local communities, and amplifying local leadership. Every tree planted, every livelihood restored, every life protected is part of this global story of faith in action.”
• “Together for Creation—The Seventh-day Adventist Church has always upheld stewardship, compassion, and justice as expressions of our faith. As COP30 unfolds in the heart of the Amazon—a place where creation still sings its most powerful hymn—let us renew our commitment to care for the earth and for one another. May our prayers inspire action. May our faith move mountains. May our love heal creation. Justice. Compassion. Love. These are not just words—they are our calling.”
At the head of this global environmental effort stands Pope Leo XIV, the climate change savior and warrior, who is pushing Laudato Si’, which includes a Sunday rest provision for the environment.

If Rome can encourage the world to declare a global climate crisis, it can rally nations behind a unifying cause and urge governments to enact sweeping climate laws. For generations, the papacy has sought to forge a new social, religious, and political movement capable of uniting humanity under its moral leadership. Today, it has found that opportunity within the modern environmental agenda.
And now, through ADRA’s participation in COP30, Seventh-day Adventists have entered into full collaboration with this growing movement.
The Jesuit Order has launched its “Faith in Action at COP30” initiative, urging people everywhere to unite in a “shared calling to care for our common home.” As part of this effort, they have introduced a comprehensive “Religious Life for Climate Justice” program, centered on the theme of “Turning Hope into Action.” Drawing direct inspiration from Pope Francis and Laudato Si’, the Jesuits are positioning themselves at the forefront of global faith-based climate advocacy, working to bring diverse religious communities together and “amplify the call” for climate justice.
Once again, we are witnessing a tragic distortion of our faith. A rising number of Seventh-day Adventists are setting aside the warnings of Revelation 13, 14, 17, and 18 and instead reshaping their evangelism around climate activism, Catholic social teachings, and secular ideologies.

The prophetic message is being replaced
with a counterfeit mission,
and the distinct voice God entrusted to His remnant people is being silenced in the name of environmental unity.
The question remains:
Q: why can’t our people discern what is happening before their very eyes?"
