"I have to take action because it is about my future and the future of other young people like me. We have to demand for urgent action from them. It is our right; we deserve to live in a healthy and egalitarian planet"

"If international representatives don’t recognize the current dangers of climate change in African countries, there will be global repercussions."

"I believe education is a powerful weapon that we can use to conquer climate change."

"Wherever there are security issues arising from the environment, the women are always the default victims."
