We’re the young generation.
This crisis is our crisis.

Let the youth negotiate! It’s their future that’s at stake.

Globally 3.3-3.6 billion people live in climate vulnerable areas. COP28 is vital to upscale need based innovation and solutions towards escaping the brink of damage that Climate Change has yet to offer to the future generations.

Over the past month, several floods have affected the lives and property of vulnerable groups in some African countries. Hunger and malnutrition are killing children and forcing millions of people to move. This is preventing African nations from developing sustainably and economically. It is therefore necessary not only to pay for the damage caused by climate change, but also to build the capacity of communities invarious strategies that will enable them to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Let's stand up for rural women's access to entrepreneurship, land and technology. Be unique, stand out from the crowd. The world needs more women leaders to build democracy and peace. Education and poverty reduction in Central Europe. People only judge those who speak out, be brave yourself!

We must double financing for adaptation else we will be guaranteeing humanity's extinction.

The influence of fossil fuel lobbies must be effectively managed and strictly regulated at COP29 and all future COP meetings

We call for the action, let inaction be done. We demand for justice, then injustice is seen. We hope for better future, but hopelessly return back. We stand by nature, let's stand together with a thriving nature for betterment of future generations to come.

COP29 needs to be a turning point: a radical shift from business-as-usual to real climate leadership. A fast and equitable fossil fuel phase out, needs-based climate finance and a step-up in national ambitions are crucial to keeping the 1.5 degree target within reach.

For climate justice to be truly "international" and for its reach to be as global as its impact is, we have to do it with everybody, young people, gender and racial minorities but also with disadvantaged countries. Let's let people speak and see them for who they are and not for what they have.

Let this COP serve a chance for course correction since we are far off track. There really is an opportunity for the world to get on track in terms of meeting it's commitment to the Paris Agreement. How parties respond to this COP in terms of realignment is a moment of truth. Let us choose taking positive action and leaving noone behind.

This conference must be more than just words on paper. It must be a catalyst for concrete actions. We must translate our shared aspirations into tangible policies, frameworks, and initiatives that drive real change. It is essential that we prioritize the implementation of the Paris Agreement and ramp up our efforts to achieve its goals. We must strengthen our commitments, enhance our climate ambitions, and mobilize resources to support the most vulnerable nations in their adaptation and mitigation efforts.

There can be no effective climate policy without peace and security in the world. Policymakers and leaders must realize the destabilizing power of climate change in our nations, and how the conditions of political, economic and cultural stability of our nations depend entirely on climate stability and the decisions they make. It is therefore time to say NO to this climate crisis with bold ambitions, and to further support the ideas and innovations of African youth and those around the world.

We are trying to solve problems that our leaders are busy making, its time the leaders call an end to this instabilities and prioritize human life, all these ideologies are the causes of problems we are experiencing. Call an end to all the conflicts as they have diverse effects on human life and our climate. CHANGE IS NOW AND NOT TOMORROW.

Climate change has heightened our region's vulnerability to extreme weather events, thereby causing adverse impacts on our water resources, public health, and the local social fabric.

COP29 is a movement that has the world on its back. We count on not only the plenary discussions and other talks, but also the execution of promulgated policy worldwide.

Ask the presidents in which fossil fuel companies they are involved

As a youth climate change activist in a developing country like Eswatini, my life is simply based on protecting our shared natural environment in whatever small and big ways that I can. We are the rising change makers of the near future and we need to exponentially keep up eco friendly efforts to mitigate effects of climate change. If we want a better, sustainable tomorrow, the work starts now. Infact we're kind of late to the party but it's better late than never.
