Can society transform itself during a moment of global crisis?
In short: In 1992, a 12-year-old girl stood before the UN's Earth Summit to warn of ecological disaster. This video explores her enduring plea for leaders to align their climate actions with their rhetoric.
Environmental educator Severn Cullis-Suzuki reflects on her experience speaking at the UN's Earth Summit nearly 30 years ago. While some leaders responded with radical action, much of the world continued to prioritize politics and economic growth.
Drawing lessons from the COVID-19 crisis, Cullis-Suzuki issues a new warning, urging humanity to ensure that our environmental commitments are matched by tangible deeds.
