SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt -- Young people suffering the effects of climate change made their voices heard both inside and outside the rooms of the world's biggest conference on the issue, drawing attention to the link between the environment and social justice.
Among those speaking out on "youth day" of the COP27 United Nations climate change conference was 22-year-old Alab Mirasol Ayroso from the Philippines, who said that in her country, "thousands of human rights violations are done to environmental and land defenders."
