Adults all over the world support the children: From Kofi Annan to Wei Wei

The conference on Human Impact of Climate Change took place this year on the 23rd and 24th of June, a conference where Felix Finkbeiner was the only child attending it. Felix used his attendance to win supporters for Plant-for-the-Planet, in personal chats with the participants but also with a public speech. Among his audience was Kofi Annan, who later referred to Felix in his speech.
