“Inheritance” is a word often used when it comes to our responsibility to take care of the planet, but I don’t think it’s the right one.

I prefer to say that we are “borrowing” the earth, from future generations; when you borrow something, you have to hand it back in good condition.
After all, it is today’s young generations who will pay the price if we neglect our duty to minimize the effects of climate change – and we will not go far in fulfilling that responsibility unless we engage young people in a meaningful way. Fortunately there is evidence that, around the world, young people are taking the lead.
