Mary Robinson launches ActNowFilm at COP28

ActNowFilm launched at COP28 with an address from former Ireland President Mary Robinson, who urged world leaders to include young people in the climate negotiations that will decide their future.

ActNowFilm features young people from Lesotho to London in candid conversations with world figures, such as Robinson (Chair of The Elders) and Christiana Figueres, architect of the 2015 Paris Agreement and Chair of Prince William's Earthshot Prize.

In ActNowFilm, young people and global climate experts tell each other about their personal experiences of the devastating effects of climate change and express their frustration over the slow pace of current global action to reduce emissions and protect life on Earth.

Youth leaders like Moliehi Mafantiri from Lesotho, express confidence in the younger generation's ability to drive change at a faster pace. Experienced players on the world stage say young people must be included in the efforts to secure their own future.

“I find hope in the actions of youth that we are brave enough to take governments to task. We simply need to work together, learn from each other from across regions. There is far more that unites us than that which divides us.”
