“I was in the negotiations rooms looking at all the discussions taking place, getting a sense of the two different sides, and it was quite interesting to get a sense of that. It was a very big learning curve for me. Being the youngest person in the room, you have to prove yourself not only as a young person but as a person from the global south because voices from there are marginalised most of the time.
It is a problem if you don’t think about what is going to happen to the environment and that the food you are putting on the table now is not going to be there, that it is going to be even more difficult to get.
