YouTube Description

Visit for the complete transcript, additional reports on this topic, and more information. Watch the independent, global news hour live weekdays 89am ET.

Speaking on behalf of youth organizations, 19-year-old Munira Sibai criticized the actions of world leaders as she addressed the United Nations climate change conference in Doha, Qatar. "Over the past two weeks, we have seen not only a complete absence of vision but also an active effort by some to move backwards," Sibai said. "Those who caused the climate crisis already accepted the responsibility to solve it two decades ago. Today, after 18 years of inaction, we see these same countries backing away from that obligation. The foundational principle of equity is under attack."
