Outlining the story of ecological devastation in her home state, Ms Ridhima Pandey described her efforts campaigning for all the children impacted by the climate crisis. Underlining the need for widespread change, how the children of today were out on the streets taking action because the older generation hadn’t, she exhorted, ‘every single degree (of global warming) matters… we need your help’. Ms Pandey also introduced the film ‘The Letter’, a message from Pope Francis to the world, addressing youth action and the climate crisis, which was screened for the representatives later in the evening.
