"Its often those who can't access the models of development that caused this climate change that are living through its first consequences. Small islands, vulnerable territories, Indigenous people are the first victims of climate disturbances. We need to move more quickly to implement commitments for 2030, a plan of action that is clear, measurable and verifiable. Basically 2030 is the new 2050, it is the plan that the European Union put forward with its Green Deal. It's therefore upto us to use all the levers available to us, innovation, transformation and regulation!"

"Climate justice demands that the little carbon space we still have, developing countries should have enough room to grow," said Modi, a key player because of his country's size and its heavy dependence on coal.

In Glasgow Climate Conference 2021, he said that "India would increase its 2030 target for an installed capacity of 'non-fossil energy, mostly solar from 450 to 500 gigawatts and India will fulfil 50% of its energy requirement through renewable energy by 2030. Moreover India is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes and a net 45% carbon reduction among the five-point plan. The number of goods produced per unit of energy would be reduced by 45% by 2030, where the previous goal was 35%."

Prince Charles Said that "If the planet were a patient, we would have treated her long ago. You, ladies and gentlemen, have the power to put her on life support, and the world must surely start the emergency procedures without further procrastination!"

"Change is not going to come from inside there — that is not leadership, this is leadership. We say no more 'blah blah blah; no more exploitation of people and nature and the planet."

"This ongoing irresponsible behavior will no doubt be remembered in history as one of the greatest failures of humankind! We children are doing this to wake the adults up. We children are doing this for you to put your differences aside and start acting as you would in a crisis. We children are doing this because we want our hopes and dreams back!"

"We do it because we want to influence the people around us, we want to send a clear signal that we are facing an emergency and when you are In an emergency you change your behavior."

"Adults keep saying: 'We owe it to the young people to give them hope: But I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel everyday. And then I want you to act!"

"An environmental debt needs to be paid." An international court for environmental justice should be set up. "It is not understandable that we have courts to force countries to pay financial debts but we do not have a court to enforce environmental debts."

"Governments must show the strongest leadership to limit "the effects of climate change which we strongly believe is also the cause of radicalism and terrorism. The plight of refugees we see today ... and increasing terrorisms and radicalism represents a small measure of what the world, mankind, will face if we do not tackle climate change."

"The climate bill has finally come due. Who will pay? Right now it is being paid by the smallest and most vulnerable. We see a small toll exacted every day as our shorelines are surely eroded. Small island communities are among the first to pay the price of climate change but no one will escape forever."

"We must accept the reality that climate change is accelerating more quickly than climate change negotiations."

"We need a Paris agreement to include a strong long-term goal and a regular review process ... robust transparency rules and a permanent loss and damage mechanism. We must also scale up pre-2020 climate action'
