Contents:
Speech : delivered by Severn Cullis-Suzuki at the Earth Summit -- Keys to the speech : a child steps up to the podium, the world falls silent listening to her.
Summary:
Before Greta Thunberg there was Severn Cullis-Suzuki, whose 1992 Earth Summit speech made her known as "the girl who silenced the world for five minutes." Severn Cullis-Suzuki was only twelve years old when she addressed the whole world and asked: What are you doing to the Earth, our home? How far can human greed go? Young Severn looked at the world leaders in attendance and said, "I'm only a child, and I don't have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you!" She entreated those world leaders to make their actions reflect their words and to protect the Earth for generations to come. Severn's speech is even more urgent today than it was thirty years ago. Beautiful illustrations accompany her words in this first book in the Speak Out series, followed by an analysis written by
Alex
Nogués that gives readers more detail about Severn's life and the context of her speech, while highlighting the most powerful and persuasive points of her address. The Speak Out series publishes the most inspiring speeches of our times, then deconstructs them to give young readers a deeper understanding of global issues and the power of language to influence them.
