The girl who silenced the world for 6 minutes. In 1992, a 12-year-old girl called Severn Suzuki stood up before 172 governments and told them: “If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it.” This was at the UN’s Rio conference, where the Convention on Climate Change was born. Suzuki’s speech, which reduced delegates to tears and became a viral video, is now one of the UN’s legendary moments and continues to inspire, earning her the nickname “The girl who silenced the world for six minutes”.
