When I was 13 years old I won an international science award for presenting the topic of pumpkin production in the laboratory and in the field in an ecological way aiming at sustainability and I was praised by my grandfather Waldimiro de Souza: "This is my grandson João Caetano Horta. He draws attention to sustainability policy in Brazil. He has already planted more than 3 thousand trees since he was 3 years old. Ipe, Sucupira, Mogno, Caju and several others in Aguas Lindas on the other's farm grandfather. Today in Havana he surprises his generation by calling them for the example that water is the basis for bringing healthy food to humanity. In an international audience he wins the Scientific Day of his school together with two other schools. Milton Santos Already did this at your age. Brazil awakens to a new concept of citizenship". Words from my grandfather Waldimiro de Souza Now a new opportunity has arisen, only this time here in Brazil!! As a descendant of Dom Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil, who was also King Dom Pedro IV of Portugal, I consider it an honor to be part of Brazil's national science seminar with the theme Agrocerratense Systems, a new possibility for the future. I hope it will be a beautiful journey of research into a form of sustainable agriculture that values the Cerrado, which is our biome here in the capital of Brazil.

During my early childhood, my grandfather took me to one of his farms in the city of Águas Lindas de Goiás. I remember that long before that I already loved plants. That place only helped me continue to enjoy plants. It was there that the idea for the Amiga Árvore project emerged. The name of the farm was Lago Azul and the farmhouse was pink with blue windows and a cute roof. Around the house there were many gardens with an incredible variety of flowers. I remember that one of the things I liked most to do there was spend part of the afternoon alone in a pine forest behind the house, where I got to lie down on the pine straw to contemplate the weather. But for dark reasons, my grandfather had to sell this farm in a hurry when I was 9 years old. I went back there 7 years later and there was still a rose on the lawn and after that day I started to design a stamp that has a lot of subliminal messages and I thought it was just a drawing.
I've loved plants since I was a child and I loved learning about this group's existence!! I love planting trees and I'm available. I count on the support of everyone who thinks about planting more trees around the world!! Att.

since I joined the social network We Don't Have Time my experience with you is increasingly positive and full of surprises. Thanks again for hosting me on this amazing platform.
I'm the prince of evolution. I'm a real prince. I always loved nature. I wish that nature is restored and protected by all and that non-devastated areas have their preservation and conservation guaranteed.
I am an agronomy student at UnB, I love trees, plants, the climate and nature since always. I am autistic and have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome since I was 4 years old and today I know how important it is to recognize this. I wish all nature to recover so that everyone is happy forever. #AmigaÁrvore #I'mAsperger A photo from when I was a child.

I take this day to announce that I am going to write the final version of the Amiga Árvore project to start the movement that will fight for the preservation of Brazil's forests and savannas. After many years of thinking about it, I decided that it is time to use my gift to get to know trees and plants of the most diverse species to save this bio diversity. I thank everyone who uses the We Don't Have Time social network for supporting me on this journey! #natureday

The Swedish Meteorological Institute changes the reference period when temperatures are compared with the average. The old reference period was 1961-1990 and the new ones will be 1991-2020 instead. To me, this seems completely incomprehensible. We know that the climate is significantly more affected by global warming after 1990. If we compare today's weather data with data from a period already affected by climate change we will not see the change! This will mislead the public about climate change. I find this decision very outrageous. Talk about "the boiling frog". I demand a very good explanation from SMHI how they could motivate this decision! Please agree and share this climate warning!

Today, February 8, 2021 is my 20th birthday !!! I hope this is a year of many gifts in my life and that I can fulfill my dreams !! I hope to be able to start my journey as a savior and restorer of the Cerrado and its beautiful trees and that I can plant many new trees native to the Cerrado that is asking for immediate help more urgently than the Amazon which we cannot forget. I wish to carry out a historic act this year to guarantee the salvation of the Cerrado, the savanna with the greatest biodiversity in the world, and I am counting on the help of you and all who are making possible the existence of this space of environmental and climatic dialogue that is We Don't Have Time. Thanks for listening!!
Project number 1: Amiga Árvore. This project is very important to me, because with it I defend and love trees and all plants and I invite participants to expand this line of thought that fights for the preservation of nature. Project number 2: Cerrado Mais Vivo. With this project I intend to defend the Cerrado biome, which is the most biodiverse savanna in the world. The Cerrado needs a voice that fights for its beautiful and diverse nature that is being devastated at a speed 100 faster than the Amazon. Listen to the truth and fight for the future! Project number 3: Vai Brasil. This project is to save the Brazilian nation and the nature of its rich and beautiful territory. privatizations have further destroyed the forests and different types of vegetation in Brazil, so I decided to bring more and more people together to be able to buy everything that the government privatized in the last 30 years and everything that this terrible government of Bolsonaro and some governors intend to sell. In this way, Brazil will become a self-sufficient, ecologically sustainable country, keep its nature preserved in addition to gaining new reforestation areas with the native trees of each biome in the country.

The Ipê is not just any tree, the Ipê is the symbolic tree of the Brazilian nation. That's why I'm going to use Ipê as a symbol and logo for the Amiga Árvore project and for the salvation of Brazil's native trees. #AmigaÁrvore #SOSBrazil

The ipe is a beautiful tree that deserves to be preserved and protected by all of us! The Bolsonaro government's actions are destroying not only the ipe trees, but also the Brazilian biomes. We must come together to save our native trees as soon as possible !!! # AmigaÁrvore #Cerrado

I was born with the goal of saving and restoring nature !!! #AmigaÁrvore = #FriendTree
I love being in the Cerrado, in the forests, in natural areas, among trees and walking through the gardens, always observing details in all plants and also in the climate. When I was 8 years old I had a very different experience and in my time I observed all the details of nature in a period that lasted 8 months. I have always liked plants, nature as a whole and observing the weather through time. When I was 1 year old I walked over the grass picking up sticks and taking them home. The first words I said in my life were Light, Mango and Tree. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 4, but I had no contact with the diagnosis until I was 9 years old. I feel a lot of love and connection with nature. My connection with plants is something fantastic, my connection with rain is also interesting and my connection with every living thing in nature is simply the balance between everything.

Wow! The speech delivered by UN Secretary-General António Guterres on December 2 really gave me the goosebumps. His special address on ”The State of the planet" was given at the World Leaders Forum at Columbia University, New York, and it was definitely the most important speech held by any world leader this year. Or possibly any year. Scroll down to watch the recording of this speech. "Making peace with nature is the defining task of the 21st century. It must be the top, top priority for everyone, everywhere." Dear friends, Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal. Nature always strikes back -- and it is already doing so with growing force and fury. Biodiversity is collapsing. One million species are at risk of extinction. Ecosystems are disappearing before our eyes. Deserts are spreading. Wetlands are being lost. Every year, we lose 10 million hectares of forests. Oceans are overfished -- and choking with plastic waste. The carbon dioxide they absorb is acidifying the seas. Coral reefs are bleached and dying. Air and water pollution are killing 9 million people annually – more than six times the current toll of the pandemic. And with people and livestock encroaching further into animal habitats and disrupting wild spaces, we could see more viruses and other disease-causing agents jump from animals to humans. Let’s not forget that 75 per cent of new and emerging human infectious diseases are zoonotic. Today, two new authoritative reports from the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme spell out how close we are to climate catastrophe. 2020 is on track to be one of the three warmest years on record globally – even with the cooling effect of this year’s La Nina. The past decade was the hottest in human history. Ocean heat is at record levels. This year, more than 80 per cent of the world’s oceans experienced marine heatwaves. In the Arctic, 2020 has seen exceptional warmth, with temperatures more than 3 degrees Celsius above average – and more than 5 degrees in northern Siberia. Arctic sea ice in October was the lowest on record – and now re-freezing has been the slowest on record. Greenland ice has continued its long-term decline, losing an average of 278 gigatons a year. Permafrost is melting and so releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Apocalyptic fires and floods, cyclones and hurricanes are increasingly the new normal. The North Atlantic hurricane season has seen 30 storms, more than double the long-term average and breaking the record for a full season. Central America is still reeling from two back-to-back hurricanes, part of the most intense period for such storms in recent years. Last year such disasters cost the world $150 billion. COVID-19 lockdowns have temporarily reduced emissions and pollution. But carbon dioxide levels are still at record highs – and rising. In 2019, carbon dioxide levels reached 148 per cent of pre-industrial levels. In 2020, the upward trend has continued despite the pandemic. Methane soared even higher – to 260 per cent. Nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas but also a gas that harms the ozone layer, has escalated by 123 per cent. Meanwhile, climate policies have yet to rise to the challenge. Emissions are 62 per cent higher now than when international climate negotiations began in 1990. Every tenth of a degree of warming matters. Today, we are at 1.2 degrees of warming and already witnessing unprecedented climate extremes and volatility in every region and on every continent. We are headed for a thundering temperature rise of 3 to 5 degrees Celsius this century. The science is crystal clear: to limit temperature rise to 1.5-degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the world needs to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent every year between now and 2030. Instead, the world is going in the opposite direction — planning an annual increase of 2 per cent. The fallout of the assault on our planet is impeding our efforts to eliminate poverty and imperiling food security. And it is making our work for peace even more difficult, as the disruptions drive instability, displacement and conflict. It is no coincidence that seventy per cent of the most climate vulnerable countries are also among the most politically and economically fragile. It is not happenstance that of the 15 countries most susceptible to climate risks, eight host a United Nations peacekeeping or special political mission. As always, the impacts fall most heavily on the world’s most vulnerable people. Those who have done the least to cause the problem are suffering the most. Even in the developed world, the marginalized are the first victims of disasters and the last to recover. Dear friends, Let’s be clear: human activities are at the root of our descent towards chaos. But that means human action can help solve it. Making peace with nature is the defining task of the 21st century. It must be the top, top priority for everyone, everywhere. In this context, the recovery from the pandemic is an opportunity. We can see rays of hope in the form of a vaccine. But there is no vaccine for the planet. Nature needs a bailout. In overcoming the pandemic, we can also avert climate cataclysm and restore our planet. This is an epic policy test. But ultimately this is a moral test. The trillions of dollars needed for COVID recovery is money that we are borrowing from future generations. Every last penny. We cannot use those resources to lock in policies that burden them with a mountain of debt on a broken planet. It is time to flick the “green switch”. We have a chance to not simply reset the world economy but to transform it. A sustainable economy driven by renewable energies will create new jobs, cleaner infrastructure and a resilient future. An inclusive world will help ensure that people can enjoy better health and the full respect of their human rights, and live with dignity on a healthy planet. COVID recovery and our planet’s repair must be the two sides of the same coin. Dear friends, Let me start with the climate emergency. We face three imperatives in addressing the climate crisis: First, we need to achieve global carbon neutrality within the next three decades. Second, we have to align global finance behind the Paris Agreement, the world’s blueprint for climate action. Third, we must deliver a breakthrough on adaptation to protect the world – and especially the most vulnerable people and countries -- from climate impacts. Let me take these in turn. First, carbon neutrality – net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. In recent weeks, we have seen important positive developments. The European Union has committed to become first climate neutral continent by 2050 – and I expect it will decide to reduce its emissions to at least 55 per cent below 1990 levels by 2030. The United Kingdom, Japan, the Republic of Korea and more than 110 countries have committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. The incoming United States administration has announced exactly the same goal. China has committed to get there before 2060. This means that by early next year, countries representing more than 65 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and more than 70 per cent of the world economy will have made ambitious commitments to carbon neutrality. We must turn this momentum into a movement. https://youtu.be/2BpFEoGK4jU?t=328 Full speech: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/speeches/2020-12-02/address-columbia-university-the-state-of-the-planet Video: https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/un-secretary-general-speaks-state-planet

The idea of creating a climate action movement is always important, especially when it involves young people! I have an education program under construction since I was 5 years old, my name is Amiga Árvore and now it will be part of the Mais Árvores Mais Futuro network that I am creating to add my ideas to the public. I have loved plants and trees since I was a child, and I have advanced knowledge of botany and dendrology as well as staying attached to that knowledge and my love for plants, which led me to be diagnosed as an Asperger at the age of 4 and to have a awakening from being crystal in contact with nature at the age of 8, when I decided to totally isolate myself and talk a few times a day with people to just observe nature, plants and the climate. there are no coincidences! You are just one more inspiration that helps me move forward!
