When young people are armed with the facts, we can make more informed decisions to mitigate climate change and prepare for its impacts. I, along with my peers, no longer want to be a target for misinformation. Hiding the facts will not eradicate the detrimental consequences, and though our future may look uncertain, we can’t be afraid of teaching the truth. We’re better off to face it today and learn how to take action now, rather than suffer the consequences tomorrow.

There’s no way around it - climate change is the defining issue of my generation.
