“The climate crisis continues to intensify in the face of delay and lack of meaningful recognition and action. OCT stands out as a unique presence, giving voice to young people who are most deeply affected, yet often are placated with only words and not action. OCT’s dedicated efforts over the past decade are changing the course of this demise, ensuring that younger generations are guaranteed their right to a livable climate, now and into the future. Empowering younger generations to secure their rights is fundamental to a just and equitable society. OCT is doing what needs to be done, with skill, expertise, tremendous strategic advocacy and the moral character our world requires.”
