YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe COP25 United Nations climate summit failed to produce any meaningful commitment to cut carbon emissions in a way that would avoid global catastrophe. The conference was sponsored by major corporations and dominated by world powers like the U.S., but Tasneem Essop of Climate Action Network-International says that there was hope in the strength of the grassroots activists who converged on the summit to protest these corporate influences. "It is amazing, the youth leadership on this issue the past year," says Essop, adding that coalition-building and grassroots organizing is the future of the climate movement. "We are going to see, I believe, much stronger movements. They're not going to tolerate inaction by the governments, not just developed countries — but in all of the countries."
