Climate Apathy to Climate Action | Jolly . | TEDxQueen Ethelburgas Youth

The 21st century is defined by the threat of climate crisis. It's thoroughly degraded our environment. We, by large, acknowledge this, but no progress seems to happen. Why is there a striking dissonance between our words and actions? This is why, in my talk, I explore reasonings behind climate inaction, while highlighting successes people have achieved, and how we move on to change the climate for good. Jolly is a Year 12 student, originally from Hong Kong, and currently studying Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Having an international background, as well as a passion for chemistry, Jolly wanted to blend these experiences with a relevant, but relatively unrecognized topic, which is climate change – in this talk, Jolly will be presenting thoughts on climate change, focusing on promoting proactiveness and a more optimistic outlook to listeners. Talk Title: Why we don't recognize climate change (from an anxious teen) This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
