    Climate activist's full speech at UN Climate Change COP24

    conference in Poland

    « My name is _____________________. I'm _________ years old and I'm from


    __________________. I speak on behalf of _____________________ justice now.

    Many people say that ____________________ is just a small country and it doesn't
    matter what we do. But I've learnt that you are never too small to make a difference.
    And if _____ _______ ______________ can get headlines all over the world
    just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really
    wanted to. But to do that we have to speak clearly no matter how uncomfortable
    that may be.

    You only speak of green, eternal, ________________________ ____________,


    because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward
    with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible
    thing to do is pull the _________________ _______________________. You are
    not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us, children.

    But I don't care about being unpopular. I care about _________________________


    justice and a living ____________________. Our civilization is being sacrificed for
    the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous
    ____________________ ________ ________________. Our
    ________________________ is being sacrificed so that rich people, in countries
    like mine, can live in ______________________. It is the ___________________
    of the many which pay for the ______________________ of the few.

    The year 2078 I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children, maybe they will
    spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe they will ask
    why you didn't do anything while there was still time to act. You say you love your
    children above all else. And yet, you're ______________________
    ____________ ___________________ right in front of their very eyes.
    Until you start focusing on what _________________ to be done rather than what
    is ______________________ possible, there is no __________________. We
    cannot solve a _________________ without treating it as a _________________.
    We need to keep the ________________________ _______________________
    in the ground and we need to focus on ___________________________. And if
    solutions within this system are so impossible to find, then maybe we should
    ______________________ the system itself.

    We have not come here to ____________________ our leaders to


    ______________ . You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again.
    You have ______________ __________ of excuses, we are
    __________________ ______________ of time. We have come here to let you
    know that change is coming wether you like it or not. The real power
    ____________________ to the people.
    Thank you. »
