Indeed, Benjamin. Every year, COP repeats this cruel irony—showcasing youth voices while sidelining them in the backroom deals that determine their future. The rage you describe is inevitable, and it should be, because only then will the complacency of those with power be shaken. We owe the next generation more than empty promises; we owe them action that doesn’t trade away their future for fossil fuel profits.

Wishing you always the best from Patagonia,
