Originally Published 2 years ago — by IndiaTimes
Licypriya Kangujam, a 12-year-old climate activist from India, made a powerful protest at the United Nations Climate Conference 2023 (COP28) in Dubai, demanding an end to fossil fuels. She rushed onto the stage holding a sign and gave a short speech before being escorted away. Licypriya has been campaigning for climate action in India since 2018 and has called for new laws to curb pollution and make climate-change literacy mandatory in schools. She has been praised for her enthusiasm by the COP28 director-general but was later detained and had her badges revoked.
