I will promise to help climate change as much as I can.

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

When the worst consequences of climate change still feel far away today, or the barriers to acting on climate change seem steep today, I do not think about today. I think about you, and your world when you are my age.

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.

I look at my baby niece today. The newest member of our family, just 3 days old. What will be left for her and her grandchildren?

I promise to make as many changes to my life as possible to make yours as great as mine.

More than getting through a global pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, our true feat is even larger: to secure our long-term health and the health of the ecosystems upon which we depend for life. To do that, we have to cut our emissions in half in the next ten years, and continue to reduce it beyond that. And to succeed in that, we need to fundamentally shift the way we do EVERYTHING.

I promise to do everything I can as a daughter to our great Mother Earth to protect her wildlife and trees.

You are growing up in a time of immense change. In the last two years alone, we’ve learned so much about big and important issues including climate change and the systemic racism that runs through our institutions.

We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.
