"Young people at COP have been mobilizing every day by participating in negotiations, showing up in direct actions, and organizing exciting panels to facilitate knowledge exchange. I've been particularly struck by seeing how the emotional toll of the climate crisis is harnessed and channeled into action and hope through connection and community."
