It was young people who moved
#ClimateChange
to the front of the global agenda.
Yesterday, I thanked youth delegates gathered in Sharm el-Sheikh for their hard work & asked for their support as we start pushing climate promises off the page and into action.

Thank you for acknowledging the role of young people. Looking forward to seeing intentional structure that will get young people in the decision room. The time is NOW!

The magic carpet that fossil fuels provide has turned out to increase CO2 in atmosphere and ocean to lethal levels. Unless we acknowledge that our prosperity has come from burning old trees transformed in the earth, we cannot imagine how to change our propulsion mid flight.

Few of the young minds from the grassroots level are still missing in this year COPS27 especially from Africa, although this program took place in Africa, Build Youth get the Change

Thank you for acknowledging the importance of youth in leading efforts to deal with climate change. I look forward to meeting youth groups at COP27.
