Hello, I'm Nula Macauverin on the BBC World Service, and this is BBC OS, conversations on the climate, activists. We plan to spend some time over the next few weeks thinking about the global climate crisis

and here's something to consider. To save the planet's resources, would you also make this difficult decision?

Just by having a child in the consumption that that child will have to be nurtured, right?

You know, the food, the water, the education, that's a lot of carbon emissions.

I've always wanted to have children, but I just, I can't, me and my wife, we can't bring children into this world right now.

The UN Climate Change Conference is due to take place in Scotland in a couple of weeks and you might hear it referred to as COP26, which means conference of the parties. More than 100 world leaders are expected to come together along with climate experts and

campaigners, and the aim is to try and agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. The world it feels is and a

climate change. The world it feels is worried and watching like at no other time.

The demand for action is like no other. But younger activists are not always

impressed by the speed of action.

This is what Swedish climate activists, the teenager Greta Tunberg, makes a bit.

Net Zero by 2050, blah, blah, blah, net zero, blah, blah, blah, climate neutral,

blah, blah, blah, blah.

This is all we hear from our so-called leaders.

Words, words that sound great but so far has led to no action.

Climate conferences have been taking place for many years now and as we know the subject of climate change is not new and if you

think Greta is direct and passionate about her beliefs she's not alone take a

listen to 12-year-old Severin Kullis Suzuki.

I am here to speak for all generations to come.

I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children

around the world whose cries go unheard.

I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go.
