Schwarzenegger, a Catholic, sees the Church's influence as crucial in tackling climate change.
Schwarzenegger recalled his past legal disputes with the Bush administration over California's environmental regulations, highlighting the importance of state policies in environmental initiatives. He praised the Catholic Church's 1.4 billion members and 400,000 priests as a critical mass for supporting environmental causes.
At the conference, Schwarzenegger criticized President Trump's stance on climate change, contrasting it with Pope Francis' call for action in 'Laudato Si'. He emphasized the significance of individual choices, such as turning off lights when leaving a room, in combating climate change.
