If you didn\u2019t know, there\u2019s a\u00a0UN climate change conference<\/a>\u00a0about to begin in Poland \u2013 and it\u2019s a big one.<\/p>\n

COP24, as it\u2019s known, kicks off this weekend. For the next two weeks, a number of very smart experts and politicians will be locked in meeting rooms in a conference centre in Katowice trying (we hope) to move the Paris Agreement forward and ramp up climate commitments.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s in moments like this that our voices really need to be heard. So here\u2019s your chance!<\/p>\n

\"\"

David Attenborough, zoologist, television journalist and broadcaster, 27 September 2011. \u00a9 Martin Godwin\/Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n

Sir David Attenborough is inviting us \u2013 the normal people \u2013 to contribute to his opening address. You just have to say your piece with the\u00a0hashtag #TakeYourSeat on Twitter<\/a>, in the hope that his speech to delegates will reflect a number of voices from across the world.<\/p>\n

The venerable David Attenborough makes a good point. The issue with \u2018conferences\u2019 is they sound dry and exclusive \u2014 not open to the rest of us. But the reality is they set the goals and rules for how we intend to limit emissions and, well, ultimately save our planet.<\/p>\n

In September, I went to my first ever UN climate change conference on the implementation of the Paris Agreement. It sounds tedious, but stay with me. Unfortunately the term \u2018climate change\u2019 is too often guilt-inducing, depressing and encourages a sense of helplessness. But what was exciting about this UN meeting was the opportunity to see first-hand how nations are coming together to actually\u00a0do<\/i><\/b>\u00a0something about the problem.<\/p>\n

I had high hopes, and in lots of ways my optimism was well founded. I saw what it was like with NGOs, Greenpeace included, directly lobbying decision makers to get the best possible outcome. I saw nations come together to work on a framework of rules and timeframes for action that should free governments to make full commitments at the upcoming conference in Poland, COP24.<\/p>\n

But, what I wasn\u2019t expecting was the deep complexity of the subject, the circular conversations, or the number of words thrown around that I really struggled to understand.<\/p>\n

Learning to speak \u201cclimate\u201d is a bit like learning to speak code. Sentences like\u00a0\u201c<\/i>14(a). Scope of and modalities for the periodic assessment of the Technology Mechanism in relation to supporting the implementation of the Paris Agreement<\/i>\u201d<\/i>are thrown around and everyone nods. Very. Seriously.<\/p>\n

Occasionally someone cracks a climate science joke (yes, that\u2019s a thing) and everyone titters. It\u2019s really hard, and you have to\u00a0really\u00a0<\/i>want to follow it.<\/p>\n

What struck me the most is that delegations really are just working on words on a document.<\/p>\n

I had imagined they\u2019d be operating differently somehow, in a way I wouldn\u2019t recognise. But instead, imagine the whole world in a Google document for up to 18 hours a day, and you\u2019re getting close to what working on a \u2018rule book\u2019 for what the Paris Agreement looks like. And it\u2019s not just any Google doc, it\u2019s one that could maybe save our climate and ourselves. The fate of the oceans, the forests, the animals all potentially resting on\u2026 a Google document!<\/p>\n

The problem for someone who works in communications, like I do, is that documents are not sexy. That\u2019s not how we imagine people saving the planet. Sure, we imagine people fighting aliens, yes. People who fly, yes. Men dressed as bats, women dressed as cats, both yes. But never a complicated document.<\/p>\n

I have a newfound appreciation for the realities of what the parties involved in the Paris agreement are trying to do. But the thing is, this is an issue that concerns\u00a0every single one of us.<\/b>\u00a0It especially concerns the huge swathes of people living in\u00a0climate vulnerable developing countries<\/a>\u00a0who have never gone anywhere near a Google doc, let alone a UN building.<\/p>\n

Members of the Greenteams demonstrate for more climate protection under the motto \u201cKids for Earth\u201d at the COP23 in Bonn. The approximately 400 children marched through the city to present their demands to the world\u2019s politicians to do their best to achieve the climate target agreed on in Paris in 2015. \u00a9 Bernd Lauter \/ Greenpeace<\/p><\/div>\n

And the longer our representatives feel free to roam the halls of power ruminating over politics and technicalities, using language that either terrifies the average person or bores them to tears, the harder it\u2019s going to be for all of us \u2013 especially as we increasingly face the very real impacts of climate change<\/p>\n

There are still\u00a0reasons for hope<\/a>, as the recent\u00a0UN\u2019s special report on climate change revealed<\/a>. So, as the curtains draw back on the next climate showdown in Poland, I encourage you to join me in demanding action\u00a0from the delegates making the decisions.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not let them get comfortable or lost in complex language. Instead, let\u2019s take our seat right next to them and demand to be heard in ways we can all understand \u2014 before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n
