COP29 ended with an agreement that leaves us as young people and as activists disappointed. As youth, we are extremely concerned and frustrated that those in power continue to put revenues before people’s lives. We called on the global north to take responsibility for the Loss & Damage caused by the climate crisis – and are left with a promise that comes nowhere near the needed $1.3 trillion. No agreement would have been better than this agreement!

Act now! Enable a future for us! Nearly half of the global population is already exposed to climate change impacts, many of them already marginalised.
