The personal background of the former President; her family, her time in power are relevant to her interest in human rights and global climate change.

Global climate change threatens sovereignty. (Sovereignty means the right to govern in a specific territory.) If that territory no longer exists, where do those people belong?

Climate change will impact the human rights of people.

Traditional knowledge; of planting and harvesting seasons, is no longer applicable.

Those who are suffering from the impact of climate change are not the same people who are contributing to climate change.This is unjust.

All countries are facing the need to change significantly. No country is safe.

Change is happening; states are using legislation to regulate emissions and are setting goals.

The world has successfully faced an international challenge of this scope in the past following the end of WW2.

All individuals, groups, governments and corporations must engage with the reality of global warming.

History is shaped by the actions of people in the present.

“We want a safe world for our children and grandchildren. We are all in this together.”
