One of the Youngest People There
At age fourteen I was one of the youngest people at the entire conference. I only met two other people who were my age. I learned a lot from and especially liked the youth caucuses that RC ran. I loved getting to hear other youths’ experiences and perspectives and being able to connect with them. I also got to speak at one of the forums and tell my story of how I got interested in climate change through animal conservation.
The whole trip was a life-changing experience. It gave me hope to meet so many people who cared so much about us young people and the future of our planet. A special thanks to everyone who went and to all the supporters back at home.
