And I would say exactly the same about art.

Without art, we're nothing.

So I want to return to that image of the Alhambra up on the hill, because the Alhambra is all about the art.

Its design owes as much to poets and philosophers as it does architects.

And like the Alhambra, our movement needs to bring inside the artists.

Artists have inspired paradigm shifts on issues like race and sexuality.

Think of David Hockney painting queer life when it was still illegal, or Billie Holiday singing a song like Strange Fruit a quarter of a century before the US Civil Rights Act.

or less profoundly, just think of Harry Styles getting photographed on an electric bike, viral.

The point is, artists have the power to awaken the public consciousness for mass climate action.

That's how we build the climate movement of the future, a house of many rooms, where each one of you is welcome to have a room inside, the realists and the optimists among you,

where we build trust with one another, including on the laws we need to meet our goals, and where we also start inviting inside the artists to inspire us all in a movement of possibility for the best house party of all time.

The thing is, we know that four in five of us globally all want climate action.

We're already the 80 percent.

We just don't know we know it yet.

Thank you so much.
