In case you missed it, this is ‘Only a Child’, the 2022 Oscar-shortlisted animated short directed by Simone Giampaolo who brings together 20 animation directors to give shape, color, vibrance and a renewed urgency to the powerful speech delivered by Severn Cullis-Suzuki at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio. She was 12 at the time and her presentation garnered worldwide attention.

”I’m only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family — five billion strong; in fact, 30 million species strong — and borders and governments will never change that. I’m only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.”
