Part of Xiangyu Zhao's Speech
“My generation, however, we are not the leaders of COP15, we are not the people making the decisions in Copenhagen. So today, we ask the leaders of COP15 to set an agreement in December with specific goals and duties from both developed and developing countries to solve climate change.
This should be an agreement that can challenge everyone to work together. This also should be an agreement not just for our generation or your generation, it is for the future of us as human beings and the future of this planet, the only home we have.
There needs to be an agreement that has a target which is as ambitious as possible, and we will make sure that the youth of this world, the next generation, have the ambition to reach the target. You determine our task, you determine our future”
