00:00I am lucky that I'm still surviving and I will
00:21I am missing my classes right now
00:24Same way I have missed them for the last six weeks to create climate awareness
00:30It's not surprised because I once missed three months of school due to the effects of climate change
00:36We experienced in my family and community
00:41And my father wasn't able to raise my tuition fees
00:45I am a victim of this whole climate crisis and I am not ashamed to say so
00:52After the massive effects of climate change in my home village
00:56the heavy rains
00:58The strong winds that washed away our crops leaving the land bare
01:03the constant dry spells
01:05That left the streams dry
01:08My parents had to sell off our land and livestock to sustain our lives
01:13And when the money was over
01:15It was a question of survivor and death
01:19I am lucky that I am still surviving
01:23and I will
01:28I
01:36Am lucky that I am still surviving
01:39And I will not take this chance for granted
01:42Because people are dying
01:45every day
01:46I made a decision to protect the only place I call earth
01:52And by this I joined fellow young activists
01:56All over the globe to protect our future through endless fights
02:02Sacrifices we hustle our way
02:05Because this is our future
02:08I will tell you that we are a generation of scared people
02:13but very ambitious
02:15very united
02:17Very persistent and very good at action
02:21I sacrifice
02:23All my pocket money into a lecture cleanup activity. I do to beat plastic pollution
02:29And I need you to join. I need you to join me in this fight
02:34You two can make a decision now
02:36If you are willing to join the youth in this fight, I want you to promise to us by standing up right now
02:53Thank you, you can have your seats
03:00And for those that didn't stand up
03:03I will tell you
03:05Your beds might be comfortable right now, but not for long
03:10You will soon feel the same heat we feel every day
03:15Be rest assured that youth from the other side of the world
03:20Fighting for a safe future for you and for us all and are not about to give up yet
03:27Let's move away from this summit with action
03:30I thank you all
