The Important Stuff | A message from children to COP28 leaders

What do children think and feel about the climate crisis?
What would they say to world leaders who can make the changes needed to save the world they are leaving for them?
The kids need action and global leaders need to hear them.
The project "The Important Stuff" includes 6 films showcasing 25 children from 12 countries presenting their concerns, ideas, and solutions for real issues related to climate negotiations. It also calls attention to the necessity of a first decisive letter towards children’s rights.
