Having witnessed firsthand the failure of the Copenhagen COP15 Climate Change Summit in 2009, I felt incredibly frustrated that world leaders were unable to look beyond their own national self-interest rather than to securing a binding treaty that benefitted the entire world. I was very pleased to join 'ItsOneHumanity' as one of the Regional European Ambassador. Training in diplomacy, I felt that the 'ItsOneHumanity' project was incredibly valuable in reaching out to young people from all over the world as a uniting voice to re-instate that we belong to one humanity.
As a team of young people ourselves, this project gives us a platform to remind people that we all serve a purpose to look after our planet - as one unit. Within a short space of time, the team of 'ItsOneHumanity' were able to draft a strong statement of solidarity for all to sign. This petition will then be presented to world leaders at the next global summit in Mexico as a form of lobbying. Whether or not they listen, this is a great opportunity for everyone to show that people across the world are in support for a better, protected world for now and the future.
