Here is my full speech at the #COP26 World Leaders Summit Opening Ceremony with a key message from Earth to COP: "Open your hearts"! The youth voices at the World Leaders Summit will probably get the least coverage! So I'll upload them here! Share widely!

Honoured to meet HM King Charles III in Berlin together with other young leaders fighting to safeguard the health of our planet. Prof. Wangari Maathai’s legacy reminds us that courageous leadership on environmental issues ripples out across generations. We are stronger together!

I visited the iconic fig tree in Gitaru. It’s been here for decades, a symbol of life and history. Locals, frustratingly, tell me it will be cut down on Monday. The railway station can be built without destroying this sacred tree. A solution that benefits everyone. #SaveTheTree

I spoke at #InvestGreenEU Summit yesterday. I talked about the 2.1 million people in Kenya facing starvation from climate driven drought. The moderator thanked me for being "a breath of fresh air" before hurrying on to the next speaker. Is anyone really listening? #BlahBlahBlah

Kilifi is already worst hit by drought. Mr President @WilliamsRuto , Instead of uprooting & exporting Baobabs to Georgia, the value addition of Baobab powder & shared tourism benefits would generate income for local communities protecting these indigenous trees. People & Planet.✊🏾

The scenes of flooding in Kenya are heartbreaking. Climate change is not a distant threat; it's here, affecting our lives today. Lives and livelihoods are being lost each day. Urgent action is needed to address this crisis. We need to further localize climate issues and response

The heartbreak and the injustice - are hard to bear. At least 26 million people are struggling for food following consecutive poor rainfall seasons in the Horn of Africa. Yet Sub-Saharan Africans are responsible for just half a % of historical emissions!

At least 26 million people are struggling for food across northern Kenya, Somalia and southern Ethiopia.

Did you know that the fastest River in Africa is found in Central Kenya? River Gura, located in Kenya, Nyeri County, Tetu, flows from Aberdares ranges. It's recognised by potamologists (people who study rivers) as the fastest flowing river in Africa. This is home💚. @KOT_Loyals
