Secondly ... We need to engage the population that is most affected, in this case, the young people, the youth. With 70 percent of Africa below the age of 30, youth represent the largest demographic opportunity for the continent. We have to engage, including youth, to be an opportunity to uplift the continent from the devastating poverty. And excluding young people in all the climate activities will benefit conflict. So we must engage young people. This is because we do know youth are the legitimate owners of the future, so their inclusion is mandatory.

And finally, as we seek to mitigate the effects of climate change and conflict, it is time to hold corporations, government and individuals accountable for committing climate crimes at home and abroad. This should be done by establishing International Climate Court. Today, the world is celebrating the transition to clean energy. We are celebrating the progress. But we cannot celebrate the transition to clean energy while being silent about the death and suffering of millions of people.
