Im rebecca races welcome to the program. It is a gathering at the United Nations in new york for an unprecedented crisis meeting on Climate Change on friday 4000000 people took across the globe took part in the worlds biggest ever rally calling for radical climate protection among them was granted to the young woman who start of the fridays for future demonstrations in her home country swedens more than a year ago she was one of nearly 100 young people at the summit its a chance for them to make decisions.

Meeting this monday timberg spoke at the opening of the summit and praised everyone who took part in the global protests yesterday millions of people across the globe. Marched and the man does real Climate Action especially young people. We showed that we we are united and that we young people are unstoppable. Correspondent alexander phenomena spoke with another youth activist attending the 1st Climate Summit of the un. We are here at the u. N. Headquarters in new york and i have with me its who is a claimant activist from germany thank you for being here with us so you are participating in this summit what are you trying hoping to achieve so i feel like the most important thing that we are hoping to achieve is to get the message out that we need to walk the talk and not just talk the talk like our government seem willing the only do so we are gathered here with a 1000 young people we want to build a network who want to share inspiration for actions that can be taken but also ensure that we send out a huge macit to the Climate Summit on monday that we expect our leaders to declare a Climate Emergency and act accordingly. Talking about leaders who are dealing with leaders such as donald trump who says that he doesnt believe that Climate Change is manmade and permanent so what can you do to press leaders like him to really act and tackle the issue vote accordingly i mean young people might not be the majority in the voting age groups but we still have an insane power if we all go to the polls if we and weve seen that in the European Election right young people voting so green that our governments feel you know push to actually think about the topic and if not act accordingly so we need to vote we need to go to the streets we need to strike and we need to be vocal in the Digital Media and thats and i by then we can show how much we care about the issue and how much we expect our politicians to act accordingly. Well one politicians and activists in new york discuss possible solutions to Climate Change volunteers around the world cleaning up Plastic Waste as part of global cleanup day volunteers have been removing plastics from parks beaches and rivers the organizers say the campaign not only helps the environment but also creates public awareness. Even if you know in some of beijings green is places youll still find garbage within a stones throw of the mountains theres a large amount of Plastic Waste its a huge problem everywhere but its particularly acute in Southeast Asia. Because you know we want more people to understand that Environmental Protection concerns them directly they can take part through very small actions it doesnt take much. More in the case pages in vietnam thousands are also taking part in world cleanup day lets do it a Global Foundation organized the world wide event it especially wants to draw attention to the vast amounts of plastic pollution because the numbers are dramatic there are more than 8000000000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste in the world most of which ends up in landfills and much of it in rivers and off towards the sea according to a u. N. Report only 9 percent of plastic is recycled. The philippines is one of the worst polluters in terms of Plastic Waste but people are also cleaning up there today. Of course it makes me feel awful to be here and see all this garbage but this is the result of filipinos. At least were here now to correct all the mistakes from the past but. This is a global problem waste is often exported from industrial western countries to Southeast Asia for processing but until a long term Global Solution is found be it by degradable or usable packaging seems like this is set to continue despite the efforts of volunteers.
