Shortly after Typhoon Haiyan in 2015, Pope Francis visited the Philippines. Millions of people waited hours to see him pass by. Pope Francis prepared an encyclical on the environment and the climate crisis, and during his visit he showed solidarity with victims of Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda, and related the increase in extreme weather events to climate change.
