climate change conferences COP26 in Glasgow.
We need to act now, today for tomorrow. we don't have the time to ponder and take time to make commitments. The change In 1.5 degrees celsius is huge, maybe not the numerical value but the impact is so vast! and is being experienced all over the world in the form of floods, forest fires, heavy rainfalls, and landslides, etc.
I believe it's high time that the youth be given the opportunity to be part of the change instead of excluding them. since the seniors diplomates and leaders express their concerns for the future generation why not give the power to the youth to do so? empty promises with numbers and long talks are not the solutions, we need people at the ground level to start changing and to learn about indegenious methods to tackle the problems.
nervousness
