Activity 5 – Youth-led Movements Inspiring Action
nDuration: 30 minutesnnDiscussion: Ask participants to name the first people that come to mind who are taking action on the climate crisis. One of those people is undoubtedly Greta Thunberg, 1 16-year-old climate activist. She has the attention of the world on her in her fight to address the climate crisis. She is not the first young person to lead a social movement, in fact, she was inspired by the #MarchForOurLives students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and their actions on gun violence.u00a0 It is true to say that young people are often at the heart of social movements and have had an enormous impact. Malala was another 16-year-old in 2013 that got the world’s attention.nnIn 1992, twenty-eight years ago, Severn Cullis-Suzuki attended the Rio Earth Summit, where, at the age of twelve, she delivered a powerful speech that garnered worldwide attention. Listen to her speech below and compare it to Greta’s speech in 2019.
