Renowned environmental lawyer and adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan emphasized that climate change is an issue where youth involvement is as crucial as that of civil society. Speaking on the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on climate obligations, Rizwana noted that while the opinion is non-binding, it could serve as a powerful moral force in shifting global climate policy, especially in the current hostile political climate. She urged that if action is not taken now, future generations will hold today’s leaders accountable. Rizwana highlighted issues like riverbank erosion, infrastructural weaknesses, climate adaptation planning, and strengthening local governance. She advocated for a nature-focused and morally driven approach to climate action. "We should craft 10–12 environmentally focused messages and deliver them to the nation through our youth," she urged.
