Youth climate activist Helena Gualinga says corporations must compensate communities impacted by the climate crisis. 'It's a debt that they owe to these people and it's a responsibility that they cannot escape.'

The 20-year-old Indigenous youth climate advocate is speaking on several panels at the, this week, sharing the stage with the likes of John Kerry, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, and IKEA CEO Jesper Brodin.

"Our worldview is based on something called the 'Kawsak Sacha,' the living forest, where we recognize everything in the forest as a living being," Gualinga said."And that is crucial to us; that needs to be taken into account." Gualinga said:"Many times, we've not had access to these spaces. So we need to create a process that is adapted to our communities.", i.e. the transition across industries to more sustainable practices — which is set to be a major topic at the World Economic Forum this year — is a key example of why collaboration with Indigenous communities is needed. Much of the green transition is about electrification — for instance,.

"There's big oil and big mining attending, and I think they really need to commit to phase out from fossil fuels," she said.

Yea I am going to get my climate science education from a teenager in an Ecuadorian tribe

Helen? Indigenous to Greece I guess?

Fossil fuels have increased life spans, improved health and reduced child mortality. If you want to help poor communities, give them fossil fuels to heat their homes and feed their families. She has it opposite.

This is a protection scam . . . Woke extortion.

What is with promoting children as the lead of climate activism? Generally speaking, teenagers and 20-somethings are dummies.

ClimateScam

NOAA released data a few days ago showing the last 8 years have witnessed Global COOLING despite 450 billion tons of emissions, worth 14% of total manmade atmospheric CO2. CO2 warming is a hoax and not one media outlet has reported this story.
