At the One Young World Summit 2015, young leaders from every country in the world addressed their Heads of Government on mainstream media before the Paris Climate Conference – COP21 – commencing on 30 November. Each Call On COP delegate delivered an impactful speech highlighting how climate change is endangering our future.
Our very own young leader, Tsholofelo Mokgoabone addressed the president of Botswana His Excellency Lieutenant General Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama on the increasing droughts and changes in rainfall in Botswana that is affecting the agricultural sector. To deal with these changes Tsholofelo Mokgoabone calls on his Excellency to promote public education and awareness of climate issues and to invest in the development of Botswana’s potential water resources.
20 years of UN climate negotiations have been unable to produce a legally binding and universal agreement on climate Change. The united voice of young leaders and global luminaries ensures that governments know that the world is watching them.
Each of these speeches is being picked up by media outlets all over the world, in the efforts to spread these messages and create inescapable impact ahead of COP21. Well done to our golden girl.
