\"COY\"<\/a>Amid the depression and chaos of the last few weeks I\u2019ve seen, and been able to be a part of so many beautiful, inspiring things.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve walking with 100,000 people of every age and nationality to call for a safe and stable climate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen 3 young people prove, as they finish their 46 day hunger fast, that achieving the \u2018impossible\u2019 is just a matter of having the courage to try and the will to keep trying.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen young people take to the stage in the main negotiations to tell the world what this means to us.<\/p>\n

I’ve stood at a Vigil for Survival amid hundreds of other people where every single candle represented 10,000 people who had called for a real deal at Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve helped to fill the greyness and endless corridors of the UN with colour and life and music.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve shared songs, games, stories, and experiences with the Kenyan Youth Delegation. After working with them all year, we can now put names to faces and stories.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had less sleep than I\u2019ve ever had before and worked harder than I\u2019ve ever done before. But I know so many people who\u2019ve given even more than I have and have been doing this all year. Going back again and again to the UN, traveling overland for weeks, or having no money for months because they give all their time to this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve sat with a hall full of people as Obama announced the Copenhagen Accord. I\u2019ve shared the disempowerment, the sadness and the anger of that moment. Twenty minutes later I was stood protesting with hundreds of other young people outside the Conference Centre as the delegates filed out. It was 1 in the morning, well bellow freezing and snowing heavily but no one even considered not going.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve laughed so much. Cried too, but laughed more. I\u2019ve made some of the best friends I\u2019ve ever had. I\u2019ve met so many amazing people from around the world who are working so hard and giving so much to this struggle.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve sat and shared ideas with young people from Kenya, China, India, Lebanon, Canada, the USA, Ghana, Malaysia, Nepal, Australia, the Maldives, Belgium, Sweden, New Zealand, Serbia\u2026I could go on. And I know that despite all our differences, what unites is far stronger than what divides us.<\/p>\n

I know that there are hundreds of thousands of people who came to Copenhagen and that every one of us has a lifetime worth of passion and energy to give to this movement.<\/p>\n
