As the United Nations celebrates its 80th anniversary, climate change dominates global conversations like never before. In an exclusive interview with UN Climate Adviser Selwin Hart, we explore how international cooperation can tackle our planet’s most urgent crisis – and why young people hold the key to progress. 🔑
From 'Better Together' to Climate Action
Hart emphasized the UN’s legacy of bridging divides: "Climate change doesn’t respect borders. Our survival depends on collaboration – between nations, industries, and generations." He highlighted recent wins like the Global Methane Pledge but warned current efforts still fall short of limiting warming to 1.5°C. 🌡️
Youth Power & the SDGs
The conversation turned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with Hart calling them "humanity’s shared blueprint." He praised youth-led climate movements for pushing governments and corporations to act faster: "When students strike or activists protest, they’re not just making noise – they’re demanding accountability." 📢
What’s Next for Global Governance?
With the new Global Governance Initiative launching soon, Hart teased "game-changing partnerships" between tech companies and developing nations. His message to young readers? "Learn about climate solutions in your community. Your ideas could go global." 💡
