there will be a time when we will look
back and ask ourselves what we did right
now how do we want to be remembered this
is an emergency
people are already suffering and dying
from the consequences of the climate and
environmental emergency but it will get
worse and still this emergency is being
completely ignored by the politicians
the media and those in power basically
nothing is being done to hold this
crisis despite all the beautiful words
and promises from our elected officials
[Applause]
so what did would you during this
crucial time what we will do right now
well I will not stand aside and watch I
will not be silent
while the world is on fire will you
world leaders are behaving like children
so it falls on us to be the adults in
the room it should not be this way we
should not be the ones who will have to
lead on this and tell the uncomfortable
truth
once again they sweep their mess under
the rug for us young people for their
children to clean up for them but we
must continue and we have to be patient
and remember that the change is required
will not happen overnight
since the politics and the solutions
needed are still far from sight but if
enough people are pushing for change
then change will come and we are those
people and every single person counts
[Applause]
just look at Bristol as an example the
other week the plans to build to expand
the Bristol airports were cancelled a
lot thanks to climate activists
[Applause]
and of course this is far from enough
but it shows but it does actually make a
difference
[Applause]
activism works so I'm telling you to act
[Applause]
if you look throughout history all the
great changes have come from the people
[Applause]
we are being betrayed by those in power
and they are failing us but we will not
back down and if you feel threatened by
that then I have some very bad news for
you we will not be silenced because we
are the change and change is coming
whether you like it or not
[Applause]
thank you and let's March
[Applause]
you
