00:00Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Today, I'm proud to become the first

00:25American president to visit the Amazon, to proclaim the first International Conservation

00:33Day, reflecting all that it takes as a state in the fight against climate change and honoring

00:39the power. Today's date is the 17th. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's true, some

00:57may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's underway in America, but

01:04nobody, nobody can reverse it. Nobody. Not when so many people, regardless of party or politics,

01:11are enjoying its benefits. Not when countries around the world are harnessing the clean

01:18energy revolution to pull ahead themselves. The question now is, folks, we don't have to

01:25choose between the environment and the economy. We can do both. We've proven it back home.

01:33It's no secret that I'm leaving office in January. I will have my, I will leave my

01:42successor and my country a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. The Amazon

01:50rainforest was built up over 50 million years, 50 million years. History is literally watching
