51Talk, a global one-on-one online English education platform for children, announced that students from its worldwide learner community joined a United Nations–affiliated youth public speaking programme at COP30, held in Belém, Brazil, from November 15 to 21, 2025.
Launched in 2023, the initiative has entered its third year, creating opportunities for children from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Thailand and Vietnam to share their perspectives on climate and environmental protection in English. Through speeches delivered on a UN-level international stage, participants brought local observations into a global conversation, highlighting how climate challenges are experienced—and addressed—by younger generations around the world.
As part of the COP30 experience, students also participated in rainforest exploration and local cultural activities in Brazil. By observing biodiversity conservation efforts firsthand and engaging with local communities, the learners gained a deeper, more personal understanding of sustainability beyond the classroom, connecting language learning with real-world global issues.
The programme, titled GreenTalk: Speak for Future, reflects 51Talk’s belief that language is not only a learning outcome, but also bridge to global participation. Through long-term 1-on-1 instruction, interactive speaking practice and a curriculum designed to build expression step by step, the platform supports children as they progress from everyday conversation to structured storytelling and public speaking.
“We believe every child deserves the opportunity to speak to the world,” said Jack Huang, CEO, 51Talk. “When children are given the right tools and guidance, they are capable of expressing thoughtful ideas and engaging meaningfully with global issues. Seeing our students speak on a United Nations climate stage is a powerful reminder of what education can unlock.”
Across regions, the students’ speeches demonstrated not only improving English proficiency, but also confidence, empathy and the ability to connect local realities with global challenges.
