 💧👧🏽🌍Meet Moshka. She’s ten. She still needs permission to cross the street but somehow has more sense than a room full of grey-suited delegates with climate policies older than her parents. This year, she’s at COPP as an ambassador for water. Because apparently, adults needed a child to explain that dying of thirst is… kind of a bad look for humanity.

🚰 When a Kid Becomes the Grown-Up in the Room

Let’s get this straight: we’ve reached a point where the planet’s most vital resource—water—has to be defended not by politicians, not by industry titans, but by someone who still watches cartoons before school. And the worst part? She’s the most credible person in the room. 👏🏼

While policymakers perform their annual interpretive dance of “blah blah net zero by 2050,” Moshka is busy pointing out that lakes are vanishing, taps are running dry, and entire communities are being turned into cracked earth and broken promises. Her speech will probably go viral, tug at heartstrings, and then promptly be ignored once the catering tray of eco-quinoa disappears.

And sure, it makes for a lovely photo op—child hero stands before the world, says “save water,” gets polite applause from men who flew private to a climate summit. But behind the clapping is cowardice. Adults have known for decades. The science has screamed. The rivers have warned us with every drop. But it took a ten-year-old to make it awkward enough to care?

We don’t need child ambassadors. We need adult accountability. Until then, may the gods of irony bless us all with the wisdom of a schoolchild and the shame of a fossil-fueled parliament.

💥 Challenges 💥

Why is a child doing the job of climate ministers? When did we decide that kids should beg for basic resources while adults debate market incentives?
