    KUWAIT CITY, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Kuwaitis held a climate campaign in the capital Kuwait City on Friday to promote the climate awareness.

    The campaign is a response to the "Fridays For Future" movement, a call by Greta Thunberg, a Swedish teenage climate activist. Many people, including students, participated in the campaign held at Al-Erada Square of Kuwait City.

    Dana Moayad Hussain, a 14-year-old Kuwaiti student and activist, expressed her decision to raise awareness about the changes in the climate.

    She aims to help people understand the impact of global warming, and foster climate change-related actions.

    "We are standing here today to try to avoid the greatest climate crisis, and we have reached a point where even planting trees will not fix climate change because our greenhouse gas emissions are so high," Hussain said during her speech.

    "To fix the problem, we have to lower our footprint. In only 11 years, the effects of global warming will be irreversible. At present, rising sea levels have altered Kuwait's own coast and our own animals are becoming extinct," she added.

    "We all know deep inside that we won't have a future if this keeps up," Hussain concluded.

    Notably, the Kuwaiti activist affirmed that she is not too young to protest, because if she did not do so or if officials did not act now, there might be no future.

    "We do need not only awareness campaigns but serious and effective steps to save our home, our education, and our future," she noted.

    The "Fridays For Future" movement was launched by Thunberg in August last year as a way to call on candidates in her country's general election to commit to measures about the climate, including an end to fossil fuel and zero emission of greenhouse gases.

    The movement has found resonance with students around the world. This Friday's global event is understood to be the largest to date.
