Licypriya Kangujam, a 12-year-old climate justice advocate from India, made a bold statement at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai. Rushing onto the stage with a sign proclaiming "End fossil fuels. Save our planet and our future," she was later escorted away as the audience applauded. Sharing the protest video on social media, Kangujam expressed being detained for over 30 minutes and subsequently ousted from COP28. In a powerful statement, she urged governments to phase out fossil fuels, emphasizing the impact on children. COP28 director-general applauded her enthusiasm, highlighting the limited public protests allowed at the UN talks.
