(Video) SCS: I'm only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.

SCS: So, why didn't the world take action? Instead, governments focused on growing the economy, on business interests and of course, winning the next election. It shows a crisis in human governance, where our political systems make it impossible to act in long-term interests for the people and future generations.

We have calls for climate emergencies. We have the science, we have the solutions and we all are experiencing climate change. We are at a moment parallel to Rio. Now is the time to take action.
