🌎 Climate change isn't just headlines—it's real life. The UN just dropped a sobering stat: without urgent action, nearly 6 million more children in Latin America and the Caribbean could fall into poverty by 2030. 😟
Why It Matters: Poverty means limited access to food, healthcare, and education. Imagine communities hit by floods, droughts, or heatwaves—kids from Manila to Mumbai can relate to the fear and uncertainty these families face.
Colombia Steps Up: Known for its lush rainforests and vibrant culture, Colombia is hosting key global summits to push for bold climate solutions. From Bogotá, Colombian Foreign Minister Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio is rallying world leaders to commit to greener policies and sustainable funding. 💡
Looking Ahead: The summits aim to fast-track renewable energy projects, protect biodiversity, and support communities on the front lines. For young changemakers in South and Southeast Asia, it’s a reminder that collective action can spark real change—whether reducing plastic use or backing local reforestation drives. 🌱
As the world tunes in to Colombia’s leadership, it’s our turn to raise our voices. Share your climate story, join local initiatives, and stay informed—because every small step counts. 🚀
