"The biggest misconception about climate change is that we have time. We don't have time, and when we don't have time, we need all the help we can get. ”

Global Citizen Prize: Citizen Award Samoa Winner Brianna Fruean and COP26 President Alok Sharma united Monday over Instagram to speak live to thousands of Global Citizens, discussing in depth the Pacific's climate challenges, the importance of youth activists, and the urgent need for global action.

Fruean, a lifelong activist, started the conversation by discussing her attendance and address at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP26) last November.

"It was quite an experience being in Glasgow; it was one of mixed emotions for a lot of activists. It was a challenging space to be in, but we showed up anyway because the work is important," she told Sharma, a current British politician, who was joining live from Canberra.

"You made an amazing speech, one that talked from the heart," Sharma told Fruean in response.
