@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik .@xiyebastida explains the worldview that she grew up with and why that intergenerational point of view steers her in the direction of #FossilFuelTreaty

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik She adds that we need to tell the stories of the communities that are being affected. Everyone in the Global North need to advocate for those in the South who are being targeted by extraction activities.

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik .@zuhairkowshik explains how a diverse group of youth were brought together to set out policy expectations for @StockholmPlus50. He shares their demands.

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik Kalo Afeaki stresses that we know the science. we know that fossil fuels are driving this. We know that fossil fuels are being burnt at the detriment of the Global South. It is a major disservice.

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik She stresses that we can't keep talking about the same things for decade more. The time for action is now.

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik .@FarzanaJhumu emphasizes that climate justice should look like a person who is fighting. Don't listen to the capitalism and greenwashing that puts too much emphasis on individual choices in the climate crisis.

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik Kalo Afeaki shares that "we need more young people at decision making tables. If the elders cant make the right choices, then we will step up." Young people are innovators and drivers of change.

@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik There is the saying that if you're not at the table then you're on the menu. And I'd rather not be eaten adds Kalo Afeaki.
