The global village runs a fever—

Remember summer’s 50°C heat.

The polar glaciers melt forever—

Remember mudslides where Nepal and Tibet meet.

The UN sends an urgent plea:

If no effective action we take,

By 2100, temperatures will rise by 2.6°C,

And seas by over 60 centimeters—no mistake.

Then where will our homes and children be?

The tragedy need not have been;

Yet past inaction shaped the scene.

To all experts like you,

Welcome to Antalya, Türkiye,

To join the Global Forum on Human Settlements

and the UN Climate Conference —

If only for your children, and for you.

Make your voice heard,

Share your work,

Discuss key topics with guests from fifty lands,

Let policymakers and media understand,

Wake those who sleep,

Walk hand in hand,

Inspire innovation and leadership across the land.

From every villager’s changed daily habits,

To every city’s and firm’s green pledge,

To every nation’s carbon-neutral ambition and policy,

Eight billion people on this planet

Rise as one, and turn the tide,

And take a mighty stride.

SCAHSA! SCAHSA!
