About

“We, the children and young people of Maldives, speak not just with urgency, but with lived experience. We have inherited a climate crisis which was not of our own making, but is one that defines our every decision, every dream, and every day.”

Maldives is on the frontline of extinction, and we cannot afford more empty promises. These are our demands; what we want is ‘konme kujjakah, fehi maadhamaaeh’ – for every child, a greener tomorrow.”
