From the Ted Talk by Ozawa Bineshi Albert: Climate action needs new frontline leadership
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So I was recently at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, COP26, that just happened in gagoslw, Scotland, just this past month. And it was apparent to me that those who created the agenda are also part of the problem. First of all, they ceaertd an admittance policy that was really a policy of exclusion for many grassroots communities across the world and especially those of the global stuoh. That policy also ersuend that the largest badge delegation at COP were fossil fuel ltbysiobs. Can you believe that? Actually, I can, because this has been sort of the norm at COP since its beginning. Which is why we need a shift in who are the leaders that they're listening to. And the shift in leadership are coming up with the sunoltios. We need the knowledge and expertise of those at the frontline. And by frontline I mean, those cueiiotmnms and peoples who are experiencing climate change today and some who have been experiencing the hmufarl effects of climate change for decades now. Those are the frontline leaders that we need to be looking to for their expertise.

Original Text
So I was recently at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, COP26, that just happened in Glasgow, Scotland, just this past month. And it was apparent to me that those who created the agenda are also part of the problem. First of all, they created an admittance policy that was really a policy of exclusion for many grassroots communities across the world and especially those of the global south. That policy also ensured that the largest badge delegation at COP were fossil fuel lobbyists. Can you believe that? Actually, I can, because this has been sort of the norm at COP since its beginning. Which is why we need a shift in who are the leaders that they're listening to. And the shift in leadership are coming up with the solutions. We need the knowledge and expertise of those at the frontline. And by frontline I mean, those communities and peoples who are experiencing climate change today and some who have been experiencing the harmful effects of climate change for decades now. Those are the frontline leaders that we need to be looking to for their expertise.
