The Climate Leaders of Today and Tomorrow

The next generation of environmental activists have infused the movement with the energy and urgency needed to fight for a better future. Whether it’s taking on oil interests, encouraging youth to take climate action in their daily lives, or providing a platform so youth can participate in local activism, they have made it clear that the future of the environmental movement is inclusive, impatient with inaction, and digitally savvy.

Better World Group was honored to bring together a panel of leaders who are transforming the fight for climate justice for a conversation about driving urgency and change, the challenges that lie ahead, the intersections of the movement with racial justice, and how they keep hope for the future.
