A reality check. #COP26 was meant to keep 1.5ºC alive. The current draft text would deliver a 2.4ºC world. That is a death sentence for communities like mine. Leaders must not sacrifice those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. No more talking. Start acting!

Climate change is not a slow-moving long-term threat and future generations don't deserve to deal with it! The recent UNFCCC synthesis report raised a red flag that current NDCs are nowhere near what we need for 1.5, or even 2 degrees. #ClimateStrikeOnline week 66. @GretaThunberg

Last year, I asked world leaders to open their hearts before entering COP26 negotiations. Many have yet to take the climate crisis seriously. At #COP27 , leaders must show that they care about people & open their eyes to the realities of climate inaction!
