👁The case for stubborn optimism on climate
🧠Christiana Figueres
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣"This decade is a moment of choice unlike any we have ever lived," says Christiana Figueres, the architect of the historic 2015 Paris Agreement. The daughter of Costa Rica's beloved President José Figueres Ferrer, she shares how her father's unwillingness to lose the country he loved taught her how stubborn optimism can catalyze action and change. With an unshakeable determination to fight for the generations that will come after us, Figueres describes what stubborn optimism is (and isn't) -- and urges everyone to envision and work for the future they want for humanity.

👁Make your actions on climate reflect your words
🧠Severn Cullis-Suzuki
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣"History has shown us that in moments of crisis, society can truly transform," says environmental educator Severn Cullis-Suzuki.

Some at the summit listened and took radical action, but for the rest of the world, it was business, politics and full-steam-ahead economic growth. Now, Cullis-Suzuki shares another warning about the future, this time informed by the COVID-19 crisis -- and urges us all to make our actions on climate change reflect our words.
