As a young 13 year old, environmentalist David
Suzuki’s daughter Severn gave one of the most
remarkable, hard-hitting and eloquent speeches at
the UN Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.
It is still a remarkable speech, but somehow poignant in light of how little the world’s leaders are doing - including our own Australian leaders who seem to have made little if any progress in nearly 17 years.
It’s time to listen to this speech again - and this time really listen! Find the video at:
