Kao mlada izaslanica koja prvi put sudjeluje na zasjedanju Konferencije stranaka, pristupam mu otvorenog uma i s mrvicom naivnog optimizma. Prema ovotjednim informacijama, globalne temperature porasle su na više od 2 stupnja u odnosu na predindustrijsko razdoblje. Ako to, zajedno sa strašnim poplavama, šumskim požarima, sušama i potresima kojima smo samo ove godine svjedočili diljem svijeta, nije dovoljan argument za postizanje dogovora o prestanku uporabe fosilnih goriva, u skladu s predloženim Ugovorom o neširenju fosilnih goriva, ne znam što jest.
Pravi je trenutak da se rad našeg izaslanstva usredotoči na poljoprivredu i sigurnost opskrbe hranom, program rada za pravednu tranziciju i financiranje borbe protiv klimatskih promjena, a tome će pridonijeti i moji vlastiti interesi, kao što su klimatska pravda i intersekcija klimatskih promjena s rodnom ravnopravnošću i mirom i sigurnošću.
Iako je mladima pristup prostorijama za pregovore ograničen, vjerujem da naši glasovi imaju ključnu ulogu u oblikovanju ishoda zasjedanja COP28. Odajem priznanje mladima koji neumorno vrše pritisak na donositelje odluka u vezi s klimatskim sporazumima koje danas imamo, iako ni oni zapravo nisu zadovoljavajući. Smatram da su nazori mladih jednako valjani i da nas treba poslušati, posebno s obzirom na to da ćemo mi mladi najdulje trpjeti posljedice nedjelovanja u vezi s klimom.
Moja strast za djelovanjem u području klime proizlazi iz triju primarnih čimbenika:
Željno iščekujem da na zasjedanju COP28 upoznam ljude iz drugih sredina, čujem njihove priče, saznam mnogo novih stvari i povratim nadu u budućnost. Međutim, i dalje se bojim da taj entuzijazam ne preraste u strah, a to će ovisiti o primjerenosti i provedbi dogovorenih mjera.
