Full Script
Hi, I have some friends that want to leave a message. You’ll probably never meet me, but you could change my life. My name is Hassan. Sayana Ravi. My name is Katie. My name is Burhan. My name is Pesh. My name is Anitha. Recently, I have experienced my first arctic. Climate change is something very scary. I can’t help but wonder what will happen to Canada’s arctic in my lifetime. Last year, we had a lot of fires from our country. Sea Eye Levine, which is called Caspian, have a dropping sea level problem. Because climate change is an irreversible problem, we have to act fast. So let’s test now. This is where you guys come in. When you’re working, think about us. Because we are happy. We count on you. Your decisions today will protect my future and those of many other youth. We are the ones that will be heading to the end. Make some good decisions. Take the steps. I really appreciate your hard work. Wish you all the best. Bye for now. Bye for now. And good luck with COP 29.
