20 years of UN climate negotiations have failed to produce a binding and universal agreement for climate change action. The Paris Climate Conference - COP21 - is the last chance for world leaders to change course and ensure a sustainable future for all.
At the One Young World Summit 2015, young leaders from 196 countries recorded video messages calling on their country's leaders to deliver the agreement we need in Paris.
One Young World Counsellors including former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Unilever CEO Paul Polman and philanthropist Sir Bob Geldof also called on world leaders to commit to urgent climate action.
