00:07recalling the Bahamas' independence celebration in 1973
00:11and highlighting the country's cultural achievements and vulnerability to climate change.

00:22For more than 50 years I have tried through various initiatives and organisations
00:27to assist young people across the Commonwealth, including here in the Bahamas,
00:33to innovate, to prosper and to thrive, and to do so in harmony with nature on which each one of
00:41us depends.
00:44So today I can only invite you to take up the sacred task to play your part
00:50in the way that you build for yourselves and your own descendants truly sustainable futures,
00:58in the way you hold steady sunward, you have the chance to show the world how it truly is better
01:06in the Bahamas.

01:14saying it was a right to acknowledge them while building new opportunities for the future.

01:27below 2 metres.
