Young people around the world should use their voices together to call for climate action according to one of the youngest ever speakers at a UN conference.

Eight-year-old Kiara Kaur has been attending a global meeting of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) currently underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The conference is focusing on halting desertification around the world while looking at ways to restore and sustainably use degraded land.

She told Martin Samaan that individually young people are just one drop, but together they make an ocean.
