It pays tribute to the youth change-makers who are now leading the conversation on climate change around the world and shaking up the status quo. Climate change impacts everyone, but it particularly affects young people. Their health, education, and security -- as well as their future -- are at risk of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, according to the UNEP. Empowering youth to be green change-makers is necessary to build a livable planet for all in the future. This mural is inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 13.
The mural features the famous tale of the "Little Red Riding Hood" with a twist. Hidden behind the stripes of the little red riding hood, is an activist girl and green change-maker. Determined and with her cape flying in the wind, she is facing a wolf, symbolizing the adult world. And, to the Narcisse flower offered by the wolf, only concerned about the present, she is opposing an entire ecosystem (flowers, bee, butterfly…), inviting him to follow her lead in creating a thriving and better future for all. The Little Red Riding Hood is not scared. She is the superhero of the story.
This mural is about changing the narrative for the future of our planet.
