Youth Empowerment in the Climate Crisis

Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future movement has mobilized thousands of people in over 200 countries to protest against the lack of government action on the climate crisis. This episode will discuss how youth engagement has been critical to mainstream the climate change agenda in policymaking, providing tips on how we can help and support this movement for environmental change. We invited Paloma Costa, a Brazilian law student and climate activist who gave a speech right next to Greta at the UN Climate Action Summit in NYC and Johanna Schwarz, a young McKinsey Consultant and member of the UN Department of Global Communication Youth Representative Steering Committee to discuss with us the importance of building a strong network of youth worldwide to tackle climate change.
