United Nations published this video item, entitled “Climate Action: Mobilizing to Leave No One Behind Youth Advocates | United Nations” – below is their description.

Following the incredible mobilisation we’ve seen for the Sustainable Development Goals, as world leaders gathered this September, the global community is now rapidly heading towards another critical global moment – COP26. The latest IPCC report, according to the UN Secretary-General, is a ‘code red for humanity’. We must act now to tackle climate change and use the trillion-dollar pandemic recovery to ensure all actions are green, fair and just. Join this special launch edition of a Climate Series of Turning Point Dialogues to unpack what is urgently needed to ensure we mobilise to leave No One Behind and fight for the transformational action on climate that the realities of this crisis demands.
