Climate Change Persuasive Speech
Mr President, Secretary General, Excellencies, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen.
I approach as mere student with a plea for change, for no one is immune from the looming problem.
We are faced with a dilemma that is no longer a distant threat, but ladies and gentleman we are not discouraged. Rather we face this challenge not as an obstacle but as an opportunity to move forward as a nation. Climate change is not something that will happen, because it’s happening right now.

Even now we are working towards a greener future, we are slicing our carbon emissions and using environmentally friendly energy.

If we can put aside our short term interests then we won’t be too late for the future generations. These small steps will become leaps and they will become bounds and soon we will achieve what we strive to
