"The effects of climate change on our planet will be felt most strongly by our youth and future generations. Their collective voices must be heard. Together, we are working to pass a relay baton, hand in hand, containing a powerful climate message from young people to the decision-makers at COP27. With the immense support and scale of the project, the message is impossible to ignore!"
