In this episode, Gary Watts speaks with climate youth leader Carly LEUNG about the moment that changed everything: witnessing children walk over an hour to collect polluted water.
Carly shares what it’s like stepping into global climate negotiations at COP, why lived experience is reshaping policy conversations, and how she’s empowering young people across APAC through Climate Incubator.
Carly was a delegate at COP27, COP28 and COP29, is a member of the UN Asia-Pacific Youth Advisory Group on Environmental and Climate Justice, and part of the Regional Youth Parliament on Climate Action (RYPCA) under the UNDP Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform (YECAP).
“I wasn't there to lead with inexperience. I was there to lead with urgency and lived experience.”
