As Pope Francis wraps up his three-day visit to Kenya today, he’s urged dialogue between various religions and ethnicities.

It was his most impassioned speech yet, addressing the United Nations Environmental Programme the pontiff urged world leaders to reach a historic agreement on climate change at the upcoming summit in Paris.

He said a failure to do so would be catastrophic.
He called on the international community to listen to the cry rising up from humanity and the earth itself. 

Earlier in the day, Pope Francis also had some stern words for the Kenyan clergy, reminding them that the church is not a business or an NGO, but a ministry.

One of the last appointments the pope will keep is a talk with young Kenyans.
