Children's Climate Conference Sodertalje 2015

I think we use to much coal and oil. We need to use more clean energy, like wind, solar and water energy. We also need to use energy more efficiently. I our daily life, we use more bicycles instead of cars, turn of flights we don’t use and create some fun toys that use less energy. Please stop the global warming!

I ask of the world leaders to pass laws that protect the environment. They must clean up all the garbage that contaminates the rivers and lakes. Because the garbage makes the water undrinkable, which affects both humans and animals. I want to live in a better world. I also look forward to meet children from other countries.

We must let the world leaders know about the climate situation in my country as other countries. The climate changes are affecting our island; a drought has affected the fruit and vegetable plantations in my province and on the rest of the island. The world leaders must create measures to avoid this in the future.

I split my time between my home village Sarayaku in Ecuador and Finland and both places are being affected by climate change in different ways. This year my home village has suffered two major floods and many other times it has been close to flood. According to our elders this should happen once every fifteen years.

I like kickboxing, zumba and MMA. I also like swimming. We must take a lot better care of the environment: plant more trees and get milk from cows and farms not supermarket. I also think we must use more recycled material.

I play the piano and love sports. In the future we must use more natural things, and not use much plastic, and the plastic we do use must recyclable. Instead of cars, we can use bicycles and electric cars

Due to pollution in Paris, we sometimes have to do sports activities indoors. I also have friends whose throats are irritated by the pollution. Also my neighbor, Mme Coipaux, who has had a garden for over 50 years, tells me that she has noticed the change with her plants; they produce fruits out of the traditional seasons.

I come from Neuilly Plaisance. I’m looking forward to meeting the other children and learning new things about climate change. I would like to say to the adults at COP21 that they should make laws to slow down climate change. That would help protect the home of wild animals like polar bears and also the Great Barrier Reef.

We have no penguins on Greenland! Instead we have polar bears. Sadly the climate is not very good for the bears any longer, because the ice is melting away. With no ice the bears can’t hunt seals, so instead they come close to the land in their hunt for food. So sadly, people are forced to kill them in self-defense.

I like reading books, playing piano and hula-hooping. I have made some eco-friendly efforts to protect our beautiful environment. It is our duty to preserve the beauty of nature for our children. So my demand on the world leaders is to listen to our excellent ideas, which we will come up with at CCC.

Kyoto, where I live, is one of the most famous tourist cities in the world. But the sea temperature is rising. And because of this, the typhoons are getting bigger and stronger. For example, when typhoon No.18 came to Kyoto the Katsuragawa-river flooded. The flood covered houses and roads. The world leaders must take actions!

I go to a school that is very near a place called Mokuru. Mokuru is a very very big dumping site, where all kinds of garbage are thrown, even things like used syringes. When it rains, the garbage flow down to our school. Sometimes we cut ourselves on the syringes. And when it’s really hot, the Mokuru smell makes you vomit.

I am a child and nobody listens to me, because everyone thinks that I am too young. I would like to adults listen. Everyone should stop for a while and think about our future in 30 – 40 years. This conference gives me a chance to do just that, not in 40 years but right now, because in 40 years it may be too late.

I like playing board games. My hobby is archery and football. My favorite food is tomato soup and gruel with goulash and salad. I am very happy to participate in Childrens Climate Conference. I am looking forward to learn more how we can helpful to the nature.

I like to read, play tennis and playing with my cat. My expectations about the conference are high because I will learn interesting things about our climate and also I will see some nice places in Sweden. I want to take the best decisions so that my future kids can grow up in a beautiful and clean world.

Sometimes when I go outside I feel that the air that I breathe feels heavy. It scares me because if I can feel this now. How will the air feel in 10-15 years? That is my biggest concern. I would be happy if the world leaders could tell me their solutions to this problem!

I take part in school environmental activities. When I grow up, I want to become a biologist. My hobbies is drawing, reading, traveling and helping my mum with the cooking. I also like animals very much, and I like the beautiful pristine nature.

I adore outdoor activities, picnics and traveling. I also like to take part in different school environmental activities. My grandmother has got a farm and I like to help her taking care of the animals. I believe that CCC is a very important step to start doing something now, so that our future and our planet will be safe!

Global warming will make our climate more extreme. Heavy rainfall and storms will increase and our fauna will change. The water level will rise and buildings located on the coast will be flooded. We need to start taking better care of our planet. The world leaders must start taking action!

I live in a little city called Jokkmokk on the Artic circle. My favorite sport is floorball and my favorite food is Suovaskebab, it is smoked reindeer meat. When I meet new friends I like to talk about life and other things. My expectations of CCC are to meet new friends, learn more about the climate and to represent Sápmi.

Climate change is affecting our world because the arctic and Antarctica are melting rapidly and that means cites are becoming flooded and people are dying because of pollution. If I could say one thing to our world leaders it would be to use more solar energy, stop global warming and make the world a better place.
