Climate change, a global crisis, disproportionately impacts vulnerable nations initially; but eventually, it will impact everyone. However, the gravest toll will be borne by future generations unless decisive action is taken today. Enter climate justice—it’s imperative to establish equity and fairness in international agreements and actions on mitigation and adaptation, giving due consideration to vulnerable communities and the inheritors of tomorrow’s challenges.

Youth are at the forefront of this battle, advocating for more ambitious climate policies, igniting awareness, and holding leaders accountable for their actions. Their voices, resonating with urgency and determination, demand acknowledgment and support. It is they who will bear the weightiest burden of climate change crises, making their advocacy not only crucial but a moral imperative for a sustainable future.

Be strong and resilient! Advocating for sustainable development requires the courage to constructively critique not only practices harmful to our planet, but also those carried out with good intentions if done in an unsustainable manner.
