My message to all those on the frontlines of #ClimateAction - Young people, Indigenous Peoples, scientists, civil society, Small Island Developing States: You are the conscience of this struggle. When others saw only obstacles, you saw possibilities. When others accepted delay, you demanded action. When others looked away, you told the truth. Together, let’s keep telling the truth about the climate crisis. Let’s keep demanding the action that truth requires. And let’s keep fighting for the sustainable future we know is in our hands. I will be with you every step of the way.

In the last quarter alone, the 9 largest oil companies pocketed $95 billion in profits. I call on governments to tax these windfall profits & use them to help vulnerable countries recover. Polluters must pay. #COP31

The climate crisis is outrunning us. Meanwhile, fossil fuel interests keep making a killing - while killing our planet. But we cannot surrender. In fact, we must fight harder. We are in the fight for our lives & for our children’s future. And we must win. #COP31
