    Don't give up

    Every part of a degree that we together manage to keep below 1.5 degrees makes a difference for people all over the world. Even if it might look dark or that we are moving into a dangerous future, it does make a difference - the more we bend the curve, the bigger positive impacts we will have on the world.

    Her Body. Her Choice.

    Women’s bodies are political. Might sound like a big statement but women’s sexuality and fertility have historically been subjected to control by individual men, family and even by the state. Attached to sexual and reproductive health there is a culture of shame. Lack of awareness and resources prevent a world where all have the right to take charge of their own bodies and health.

    Transformation is key

    We need to decolonize science. There is a lot of systems thinking in science that carries colonial history. Transformation includes giving birth to the new and facilitating that process while at the same time letting go of the old. We need to build capacities for that and focus more on that than we do today.

    Dare to act

    We have to dare. That is the first step. Because if we do not dare to act, to ask questions and to speak up, we will not get anywhere. And we will not get the hope we are so badly in need of. It is okay to be scared of the future. When you feel afraid, think about and ask people around you - what can I do? What can we do? That is the first step.

    Stop future coal mine

    Support a crucial climate case in Australia. A decision to approve a new mine came only weeks after IPCC's latest report stressing the urgent need to stop burning coal. We won a historic victory in court, holding the minister accountable for children’s exposure to coal emissions, but the government still continues to approve coal mines. Help spread the word to hold decision makers accountable.

Many young people including young LGBTIQ+, women and girls are also denied access to information and support that would enable them to protect themselves.

    I am part of a generation with a need to define our country and ourselves beyond an armed conflict — to debate, collaborate and sustain Somalia's new narrative and identity, told by Somali youth. When sharing stories of everyday people in Somalia, you're part of looking at the world from another perspective. Storytelling can be a powerful tool for change and important for us living in a conflict when turning the tide towards peace and economic growth.
