We need your help

Young people around the world are asking what our leaders are going to do about climate change -- and they're submitting their questions on video for a chance to have them presented at the United Nations Climate Summit in New York City.

We've been receiving videos from around the world. We've heard questions about solar power in Italy, flooding in the Philippines, and climate change negotiations from a young man in Dubai. The young people asking them are intelligent. They're passionate. And they're going to represent their generation on the world's stage.

But now we need to increase the numbers, to make their combined voices as loud and persuasive as possible. So please help us by persuading young friends and family members to upload a video. If every Climate Reality Leader can help get one more video, we'll be hearing the voices of thousands. The deadline for submission is September 8, so please make sure every 13-21 year-old you know visits our site and submits their video. The clock is ticking:

Judging from the knowledge and commitment shown by the inspiring young people who have already uploaded videos, I'm more convinced than ever that we can overcome climate change. We just need to make sure the world's leaders are listening.
