Frankie the Dino connects with African youth

On the road to the UN Climate Conference, UNDP’s Utahraptor climate champion attends the YouthConnekt Africa Summit

October 27^th, 2022

Footnotes Frankie the Dino, is a Utahraptor who was miraculously saved from extinction – thanks to a long cave nap – and has been on a mission to save the world on the brink of a climate catastrophe. Frankie starred in a film by the United Nations Development Programme called “Don’t Choose Extinction”, in which the Dino bursts into the United Nations General Assembly Hall and tells the slightly terrified world leaders to stop making excuses and start making changes. Since the movie came out one year ago, it has been viewed over 1.8 billion times, and now Frankie the Dino travels the world to important places to talk about urgent climate action. Frankie was just in New York for the UN General Assembly and will be traveling next to COP27. For more information visit: dontchooseextinction.com
