Sanchez and Bezos' passion for climate action

Sanchez revealed that the meeting was organized to discuss climate action, a topic that matters greatly to Sanchez, Bezos, and the Pope, who's previously spoken up about climate change's consequences and the importance of taking the appropriate actions.

"We also discussed the urgent need for climate action, something he’s passionate about, as are all of us at the Bezos Earth Fund. His belief in finding beauty and meaning in everything we do resonated deeply with me. I love that he encourages priests to read poetry and literature to stay connected with the human spirit. Grateful for this incredible blessing and the gentle wisdom he shared with us," she concluded.
