GOAL 4: WORK TOGETHER TO DELIVER As youth, we demand that governments manifest their roles and responsibility as climate leaders. They must implement serious changes, set strong mandates, and work to inspire their citizens to act. "The country and other world leaders should also lead by action, showing communities and individuals that they have the support of their governments." Irene, Philippines "If our world leaders can show us that they are willing to hear us and then continue to act alongside us it will instil a unity. It needs to go both ways. Propel our voices. Inspire young people. Invest in our planet." Ellen, Australia As youth, we demand that world leaders work alongside youth, Indigenous people, and people on the frontlines of the climate crisis through investment in and implementation of climate solutions, with the use of subsidies and other forms of financial support. "LISTEN to indigenous, youth, POC and other underrepresented voices. Understand that this is a crisis and has to be treated like one. Solutions will not immediately solve everything. We need to be in it for the long haul- and to act after listening. More developed countries need to use decolonization and ASK what they can do to support others." Nyla, USA "Providing subsidies and grants to fuel the initiatives from communities. Collaborating with citizens on climate solutions will also inspire communities and individuals to continue taking part." Maja, Poland "As more and more people begin to care for the earth on which they stand on, their nurturing nature begins to snowball into the horizon, growing bigger and bigger until it encases the majority of humanity." Jia, Scotland As youth, we demand that our governments tackle the lack of climate awareness by investing in nature-based community projects, embedding climate change as a mandatory component
