Pope Francis And UN In Partnership To Educate The World On Gender Equality, Global Citizenship And Sustainable Lifestyles

Pope Francis teams up with UN to educate world on sustainable lifestyles, gender equality, global citizenship

Pope Francis launched a new partnership between the Vatican and United Nations (UN) this week that aims at educating the world in “sustainable lifestyles,” “gender equality,” and “global citizenship,” among other goals.

The launch of the collaboration between the Pope’s own Global Pact for Education and the UN’s Mission 4.7 took place this week during the Vatican Youth Symposium. Amongst the speakers at the launch were pro-abortion globalists Jeffrey Sachs, the director general of UNESCO, and the former Secretary General of the U.N. Ban Ki-Moon, who were joined by Pope Francis. The symposium was co-hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PASS) and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) / SDSN Youth.

The Symposium aims to bring about the “instilling” of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Climate Agreement, and the Pope’s encyclicals Fratelli Tutti and Laudato si. The Vatican’s Youth Symposium promotes the SDGs even though targets 3.7 and 5.6 include “sexual and reproductive health services,” what pro-life critics point out are euphemisms for abortion and contraception.

Its co-host, the SDSN, was founded by Ban Ki-Moon in 2012 and its donors include the pro-abortion, pro-LGBT Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Jeffrey Sachs, one of the moderators of the 2020 Vatican Symposium, is the president of the SDSN and an ardent proponent of abortion and population control.

Mission 4.7, itself launched at the Youth Symposium, is so styled due to its focus on SDG target 4.7 and has been established to “put into global practice this bold vision” of target 4.7. The point in question reads: “By 2030 ensure all learners acquire knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including among others through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.”
