How can we make our voices heard on the climate crisis?
I was so happy when they announced that COP would be in Africa,” said Morris, who founded the Earth Volunteers youth organisation campaigning for “climate justice”. Human Rights Watch on Sunday warned that “dozens of people” calling for protests had been detained.
It is so important that the COP is being held in Africa this year. Climate change is a global issue and it is important that all countries are represented at the COP. I am worried about the reports of people being detained for calling for protests. I hope that the COP will be a peaceful event where all voices can be heard.
Quick Summary
It is clear that COP27 was a huge disappointment for many reasons, but especially for the fact that it failed to bring about any real change in terms of concrete actions to combat climate change. It is now more important than ever for countries to come together and take bolder actions to reduce emissions and protect our planet.
