00:00Right now, we're facing a man-made disaster of global scale, our greatest threat in thousands
00:09of years, climate change.
00:29If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much
00:36of the natural world is on the horizon.
00:42The United Nations provides a unique platform that can unite the whole world.
00:50And as the Paris Agreement proved, together we can make real change happen.
01:00At this crucial moment, the United Nations has invited the world's people to have their
01:07voice heard by giving them a seat, the people's seat.
01:16The people's seat gives an opportunity for everyone to join us here today virtually and
01:24speak directly to you, to you, the decision makers.
01:30The world's people have spoken.
01:34Their message is clear.
01:37Time is running out.
01:40They want you, the decision makers, to act now.
01:47They're behind you, along with civil society represented here today, supporting you in
01:55making tough decisions, but also willing to make sacrifices in their daily lives.
02:05To help make change happen, the United Nations is launching the Act Now bot, helping people
02:15to discover simple everyday actions that they can make because they recognize that they
02:22too must play their part.
02:27The people have spoken.
02:32Citizens of the world, you must lead.
02:37The continuation of our civilizations and the natural world upon which we depend is
02:45in your hands.
