We do not want that dreaded death sentence, and we've come here today to say: 'Try harder, try harder.'" — Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley
Indeed global leaders need to try harder. #Climateactionnow@Sdg13Un @tolulopee103
Today's #ClimateCrisis is already wreaking havoc on lives & Livelihood across the globe.
At this point, We'll like to reiterate that ignorance or indifference can never be bliss.
So, step up & educate yourself.
Pick up a #Book, #read4climate & do something .
We don't have time!
Indeed, '... there's a tiny difference between ignorance and indifference... '
Ignorance can no longer be bliss with the #ClimateCrisis that assail us.
Young people need to rise to the ravages of fast fashion or remain complicit.

#GenderDay at #COP27
Globally, women and girls spend 200milion hours in search for drinking water. These time constraints affect women's ability to contribute towards environmental protection & conservative practice.This is why there is no climate justice without gender justice.
“We need women in the rooms where decisions about our planet are being made." - Vanessa Nakate
Women's leadership on the #ClimateCrisis is indispensable. Their voices must be heard and leaders must take inclusive climate action at #COP27: theelders.org/news/we-are-li…#GenderDay

Climate change impacts the most vulnerable in more ways than one. So many still find it difficult to recover post impact. COP 27 presents an opportunity for global leaders to act on their words. What more needs to happen before real action is taken?
Whether you are a policy maker, parent, NGO worker or activist, you can play a role in making sure that children’s voices and rights are factored into major #Climate decisions. Here we share some resources to shed light on what you can do. /1
