Raising youth voices on the climate crisis

As stated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, every person under the age of 18 has the right to participate in the decision-making processes that impact them. This includes a public forum to express their views, and support for them to do it.

To help fulfill this right, UNICEF has created Voices of Youth, a dedicated platform for young advocates to offer inspiring and original insights on issues that matter to them.

The sea is swallowing villages, eating away at shorelines, withering crops. Relocation of people ... cries over loved ones, dying of hunger and thirst. It's catastrophic. It's sad ... but it's real.

Timoci, 14, Fiji.

We also work with youth to spread the message offline, through initiatives like UNICEF's first-ever Climate Comic Contest.

Sathviga 'Sona' Sridhar, a 21-year-old artist from Chennai, India, was the winner of the contest in 2017. Sridhar was inspired to take action on climate change after her community was hit by devastating floods in 2015. Her winning character 'Light' - a half tree-half human who uses special powers to save nature from a warming planet ─ was ultimately turned into an educational comic book.

Advocacy is instrumental to build a better, stronger future for children and young people. UNICEF supports youth to advocate with their governments in their national contexts. In Mongolia for example, air pollution is a source of health problems for many. Here, young people have been trained to monitor air quality, and use the data they collect to call on their government to take action. Empowering youth to monitor air quality is a first, and often powerful, step in providing them with the information that they need to advocate for their rights.

Increasing youth participation to address climate change

One of the most important ways in which UNICEF helps young people participate in climate action is by giving them the opportunity to engage with leaders at events like the 2019 United Nations Youth Climate Summit in New York City.

This year, our delegation of ten young participants ─ coming from as far afield as Kenya and Bangladesh ─ featured Kherann Yao, UNICEF Youth Advocate from Côte d'Ivoire. Kherann discussed how schools can be made entirely out of recycled plastic bricks, a project supported by UNICEF in a partnership with innovative Colombian social enterprise Conceptos Plasticos.

The project will see the creation of Africa's first-of-its-kind brick factory in Côte d'Ivoire, which will convert plastic waste into modular bricks to build much needed classrooms in the West African country. This will not only help fight pollution, but also improve education and increase employment through creating a market for recyclables.

You might think that we are too young to know about the risks and realities of climate change. But we see its effects in our daily lives.

From Jakarta to New York City, children and teenagers are walking out of class and marching in the streets to demand action on climate change. And the world is taking notice. Communications experts say these young climate activists are using their moral authority as children, and their social-media savvy, to surf a rising tide of adult concern.

Jamie Margolin founded the protest group Zero Hour in Seattle, Washington, in 2017, when she was just 15. Half a world away, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg started skipping school in 2018 to strike for climate action outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm. The movement quickly went global. An estimated 1.6 million kids in 125 countries hit the streets during a protest in mid-March. And a youth-led demonstration planned worldwide for 20 September could be the largest climate protest ever.

Young people have been talking about climate change for decades. But the latest generation of protestors is louder and more coordinated than its predecessors, says Dana Fisher, a sociologist at the University of Maryland in College Park who studies activism. The movement's visibility on social media and in the press has created a feedback loop. "Young people are getting so much attention that it draws more young people into the movement," she says.

Thunberg, now 16, was inspired to start her weekly climate strikes by students in Parkland, Florida, who organized a national school walkout to fight for stricter gun laws after a mass shooting at their high school in 2018 left 17 people dead. Earlier this month she made headlines worldwide when she sailed to New York City in a solar-powered yacht to attend the upcoming United Nations climate summit. "It feels like we are at a breaking point," she said.

Thunberg and other young climate campaigners aren't conventional, tree-hugging environmentalists, says Harriet Thew, an environmental social scientist at the University of Leeds, UK. Many see tackling climate change as a matter of global justice - a framing that Thew says is more effective than a purely environmental message.

"More and more, they are talking about the problems for people and really recognizing that human-environment connection," she says. "They are not just concerned about the polar bear." Their message isn't about saving the rainforest or saving whales; it is about saving the most vulnerable people on Earth.

A movement comes of age

Oladosu Adenike, a 25-year-old protester in Abuja, Nigeria, says that she can already see the effects of global warming in her country. "Internally displaced peoples, farmer-herdsmen clashes, insecurity - all driven by climate change," she says. "Also the increase in food price, floods sweeping away farmers′ land, droughts affecting the yield of crops, and excessive rainfall."

Then there is 22-year-old Vanessa Nakate, who spends 66 hours a week selling solar batteries in her father's shop in Kampala, Uganda. She worries about the effects of climate change on the rain-fed agriculture that supports most Ugandans. Although Nakate often protests alone, social media connects her to activists around the world and amplifies their common message. "The older generation messed things up," she says. "We are doing the clean up."

Adults are listening. Media around the world covered Thunberg's journey across the Atlantic. And UN Secretary General António Guterres has endorsed the school strikes, saying: "My generation has failed to respond properly to the dramatic challenge of climate change. This is deeply felt by young people. No wonder they are angry."

Connie Roser-Renouf, a climate-communication researcher at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, says that data from a long-running survey of US adults conducted nearly every year since 2008 reveal an audience that has grown increasingly receptive to the strikers' message. "The adult population has been getting increasingly concerned, and that has been trending since 2015," she says.

Some of their concern is related to natural disasters thought to be exacerbated by climate change - such as the record-breaking forest fires in the western United States last year, and Hurricane Maria, which slammed into Puerto Rico in September 2017.

But Roser-Renouf says that about one-quarter of the adults in the 2018 survey thought that the most important reason to act on climate change was "to provide a better life for our children and grandchildren". That response suggests that youth activists remind adults why they care about the environment in the first place, she says.

Caring for generations to come

Research has revealed a similar pattern in other countries, says Christopher Shaw, a communications specialist at Climate Outreach in Oxford, UK. "We find again and again that it is the impacts on children and grandchildren that are of great concern," he says.

A 2016 survey of 1,860 people in the United Kingdom found that 61% were willing to pay up to £20 (US$25) a month to prevent climate-change related deaths in 2050, 2080 and 2115. And participants in a 2017 study conducted in Lisbon and Adelaide, Australia, were willing to spend just as much money to prevent negative climate impacts on future generations as they were to protect themselves.

But adults don't just see teens and young adults as victims who need to be protected from climate change. Thew's research on the role of youth participants (those aged 16 to 24 years) at UN climate negotiations has revealed that adults perceive these activists as having greater moral integrity than others attending the talks - "because they are not being paid to be there," she says.

Because young climate protestors don't represent someone else's agenda, their message is strikingly direct and unvarnished. "They can say a lot of things that older activists can't say," says Matthew Nisbet, who studies environmental communication at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. "They don't have careers yet. They don't have filters that adults might have."

He points to videos online of teen climate protestors confronting members of the US Congress or otherwise taking adults to task for not facing up to climate-model predictions. "Maybe you are simply not mature enough to tell it like it is," Thunberg says to the French National Assembly in Paris, in a video with 3.7 million views on Facebook. "Even that burden you leave to us children."

"They are being viewed millions of times and then they end up being embedded in news stories," says Nisbet. "It is drama, it is novelty, it is authenticity, and it is catastrophe."

Still to be seen is whether the movement's participants maintain their enthusiasm as they grow older and leave school. The demands of finding employment and building a stable life in a difficult global economy might leave less time for activism, Shaw says. Children and teens have more support and time to protest. "Your dinner is still on the table at home," he says.

But when today's youth leaders grow up, a new cohort of climate campaigners might be ready to rise. Some of today's activists are as young as 11.

Why young climate activists have captured the world's attention

From Jakarta to New York City, children and teenagers are walking out of class and marching in the streets to demand action on climate change. And the world is taking notice. Communications experts say these young climate activists are using their moral authority as children, and their social-media savvy, to surf a rising tide of adult concern.

A teenage girl, Greta Thunberg, has become the world-famous face of the climate strike movement. But she's far from alone: Thunberg has helped rally and inspire others - especially girls.

NPR talked to four teenage climate activists, all girls, from the U.S. and Australia, alongside their mothers. These teenagers are juggling activism with schoolwork and personal time. And their families are working hard to support them as they grapple with the heavy emotions that come with fighting for the future.

In Castlemaine, Australia, Milou Albrecht, 15, co-founded School Strike for Climate Australia, which organizes student walkouts. As massive bush fires engulf parts of her home country, Albrecht's group has been pressuring the German corporation Siemens to withdraw from an Australian coal mining project.

In New York City, Xiye Bastida, 17, led her school in the city's first big student climate strike last March, and along with traveling and public speaking, she and some of her classmates have continued to strike on Fridays ever since. ("Gym is on Fridays, so I have a very low grade in gym," she notes.)

In Louisiana, 16-year-old Jayden Foytlin was one of 21 young people who sued the federal government for violating their rights to a livable planet. The young plaintiffs hailed from communities around the country that have been directly affected by global warming - Foytlin, for example, is from south Louisiana, where her home has been flooded in storms.

The lawsuit, Juliana v. United States, was recently thrown out by a federal appeals court. But Foytlin says she's formed lasting friendships with the other plaintiffs. "We all share one thing in common - we really care about where we're from, and how we are going to continue to live [here]."

In upstate New York, Scout Pronto Breslin, 16, is focused on wildlife. She lives in Rhinebeck, and is the founder of a group called Hudson Valley Wild. "I volunteer at a wildlife rehab clinic," she says, explaining what motivated her activism."The birds there often come in with blood poisoning because of illegal toxins from chemical runoff and fertilizer."

Pronto Breslin advises other teens to find what really interests them about the climate movement. She says it could be composting in their schools, gardening, nature: "Once you find something that you really love, then that will just give you motivation to keep going with it."
Girls to the front
It's no coincidence that teenage girls are especially visible right now as climate leaders, says Katharine Wilkinson.

"The youth movement is such a great example of the way in which girls and young women are stepping into the heart of this space, and showing us what it looks like to lead with courage and imagination and incredible moral clarity."

Wilkinson works with a solutions-focused climate organization called Project Drawdown, and delivered a TED talk on how empowering women and girls can help stop global warming.

"When we think about the nexus of climate and gender, there are three big points of intersection," she tells NPR.

"One is that the impacts of climate change hit women and girls first and worst," particularly in the developing world and in poor communities.

The second, she says, is that "gender equality is itself a climate solution," with women's education and equity leading to smaller family sizes and, research shows, better land management practices.

And the third is what Wilkinson calls "transformational leadership that is grounded in intersectional feminism and what we might consider more feminine approaches to leading."

We all need to save the world. It's not up to girls. As much as we admire and love what they're doing. It also doesn't absolve us of responsibility.

Scout Pronto Breslin's mother, Jennifer Breslin, used to work on gender equity issues at the United Nations. She agrees with Wilkinson: "I think it's really amazing how many young women are involved in this."

On the other hand, she says, "I don't believe 'Girls are going to save the world.' We all need to save the world. It's not up to girls. As much as we admire and love what they're doing, it also doesn't absolve us of responsibility."
Raised to care for the Earth
Each of these girls expressed her own, independent commitment to the climate crisis - but it's impossible to ignore the upbringings that sparked their engagement.

"My mom and my dad always taught me what it was to take care of the Earth," Xiye Bastida says.

Bastida - who has been described as New York City's Greta Thunberg - is the daughter of Geraldine Patrick Encina, a scholar in residence at the Union Theological Seminary's Center for Earth Ethics, and an environmental activist since her own teenage years in Chile. Bastida's father is a member of the indigenous Otomi Toltec nation in Mexico, which advocates for the protection of their local water and land.

Patrick Encina says the family follows indigenous traditions. "We will do at least one ceremony, you know, to the waters or to the land frequently, maybe once a week."

Milou Albrecht is the daughter of Susan Burke, a psychologist who works in climate adaptation and disaster recovery. Burke and her husband raised their three children for years in an eco-friendly, rural, intentional community. Albrecht says she grew up going to environmental protests, and that they were "heaps of fun."

Social justice was part of Scout Pronto Breslin's upbringing, too. Aside from her mother's work in areas including sustainable development, her father was an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa, and currently works for the U.N.

And Jayden Foytlin's mother is Cherri Foytlin, a direct action climate activist of Afro-Latina-Indigenous descent who is known for opposing an oil pipeline in south Louisiana.

"Some families, they go to baseball games or ballerina concerts," notes Cherri. "Well, it's always been a family function for us to go to marches or meetings or meet with the community and learn how to organize."

It's always been a family function for us to go to marches or meetings or meet with the community and learn how to organize.

All of the teenagers, however, made the point that they had friends in the movement whose parents were less aware, less involved or less supportive than their own.

"I have a few friends whose parents will tell them, 'You can not go to that meeting until you finish your homework,' or, 'You have to stop skipping school on Fridays,' " says Xiye Bastida. She calls it "a very fine line because no parent wants their kid to fail school."
Supporting, but also stepping back
Young climate change activists need support, they and their parents say, especially emotional support. "The toughest moments have been when Xiye just needs a hug," says her mother, Patrick Encina.

Climate change is enormous and tragic. It feels very personal to young people in particular, who are more likely than older generations to say that it impacts them personally. That makes it similar to other youth-led movements, such as Black Lives Matter and the March for Our Lives movement against gun violence.

The toughest moments have been when Xiye just needs a hug.

At the same time, eco-anxiety, depression and secondary traumatic stress are normal psychological reactions to learning about the reality of human-caused environmental destruction. That's according to psychologist Renee Lertzman, who has been working in this area for decades. She compares the situation of these teenagers to her own upbringing in the nuclear age.

"Anyone who's my age knows what it's like to grow up with the threat of nuclear war around you all the time, and how terrifying that is," she says. "So I have a lot of empathy and compassion for what it's like to be a young person in the context of an existential threat. I feel concern, and I feel like we need to be thoughtful about how we navigate this."

She says young people need to hear, "It's not all on them."

On the positive side, Susan Burke, Milou Albrecht's psychologist mother, says getting involved with a cause you care about can be protective for mental health. "It's great to take action on things that are worrying you because action is one of the best antidotes to despair and helplessness and hopelessness."

But Burke cautions that this work must be child-led - you can't push your children to get involved.

It's great to take action on things that are worrying you because action is one of the best antidotes to despair and helplessness and hopelessness.

Albrecht says her parents are good at listening and supporting,"but also kind of stepping back and let me do my thing."

Scout Pronto Breslin's mom, Jennifer Breslin, agrees with that approach. "We need to not micromanage them. It's really hard. You kind of want to jump in and say, 'Why don't you try this?' "

Many youth and student groups have created guidelines for adult allies on how to be supportive without taking over.
Balancing school, life and activism
Many activists are also high-achieving students with multiple AP classes and packed schedules. Bastida says to make room for the school strike planning and the traveling and speaking she's doing, she's dropped gymnastics and Model United Nations. No regrets, she says: "Model U.N. is so stressful. I am more nervous about Model U.N. than [lobbying] the actual U.N. Kids are crazy competitive. I'm not trying to be part of that."

Nevertheless, they all say that they have to - and their parents encourage them to - make room for downtime and hobbies.

Foytlin likes to draw and play with her little brother. Bastida likes Netflix and taking baths, and she says, "My dad tells me every day, 'You cannot fix the world if you do not fix up your room.' "

Pronto Breslin likes taking walks in the woods with her golden retriever, Tess; playing the guitar and listening to Elvis and the Beatles. And Albrecht likes gardening.

Each of these girls says it's important to find joy in the moment, and in the friendships they are making as they work for a better future.

"We advocate [so much] for urgency," Bastida says. "We are saying you need to act now. You need to do this fast. But you cannot live your life in that way. And I think that's the trickiest part - how do you live in a state of urgency without feeling that within you? So we have to remain centered not only in our families, but our communities, in organizing. When we organize, we model the world we want to see."

Ted | Jamie Margolin | 2020

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the summer of 2017, then-high school students Jamie Margolin, Nadia Nazar, Madelaine Tew and Zanagee Artis decided that #thisisZeroHour to act on climate change and they founded Zero Hour, a youth-led climate movement focused on climate change and environmental justice. Now at New York University, Margolin is currently the co-executive director of Zero Hour. Politicians always tell me, "Keep up the good work; your generation is going to save the world!"
They are both so right and so unbelievably wrong at the same time.

As young people, we do have great power to move the political needle toward change, and we have done it countless times in history before.
But there are also many things not in our power, and it is unacceptable for leaders to put the burden of the problems they created and have the power to fix on our shoulders.
Climate disaster is a perfect example of this. If we wait until our generation - Generation Z - is old enough to be in power, it will be far too late to address this crisis.

In fact, we are already deadly late on acting on the climate crisis. We do not have the full power to create and pass climate policy; we do not have the power to enforce laws or decide our countries' federal budgets.
But we do have the power to influence those who have institutional power.
The key to being a successful young activist is to understand the power you do have and the power you don't have. Here's a basic breakdown of the unique power young activists hold in our society versus what is out of our control.

Here's the power that youth activists hold

* Moral high ground

Having the moral high ground is crucial when it comes to pushing public opinion and making leaders and corporations wake up to the issues. You didn't create the problem you're trying to solve, so your rage and organizing come from a genuine desire to make things better.

This is true for young people when it comes to politics. No one can point to us and say, "Well, you're just as responsible for climate change!" because no, we're not. We didn't create the systems of oppression that hold us down, and we are not old enough to be in the positions of power that enforce them.

So when we speak, our message rings true because there is no hypocrisy in calling out our leaders. No one can point a finger back at us and say, "You're corrupt too!" because we're just kids trying to create a better world.

* No special interests holding us back

This is similar but not quite the same as holding the moral high ground. We the youth are not held back on what we can and can't say because of special interests. For example, many politicians are limited in what they can say and do and advocate for by the donors they rely on to get reelected.

* Fresh energy and perspectives

Youth bring new ideas to the table, as well as a fresh energy and drive that many of our elders have lost. No one knows better than we do what it is like to grow up in the current time, and we are the most up to date when it comes to technology, pop culture and having a finger on the pulse of mass culture.

* Expertise on the issues that personally affect us

Many adults in power do not comprehend or even hear much about important issues from young people's perspectives. They do not feel climate change like we do; they don't feel student loans or an economy that makes it increasingly difficult for us to find good-paying jobs like we do.

When we speak about what we are going through, that rings true to people, and it looks bad for someone in power to discredit the lived experiences of a young person.

Here's the power that youth activists do not hold

* Legislative power

We do not control any of the branches of government, local or federal, in any place in the world. We do not control what laws and policies are passed and instituted.

* Monetary power

We do not control money in the world or have power in any large financial institutions. We do not control the banks, stock market, or large corporations.

* Legal power

We do not control the laws, police system, or how laws are enforced.

* Institutional power

We do not control businesses or bureaucracies.

* Mainstream media power

We do not control major news outlets that have millions of people watching them daily, and we cannot control the news cycle. We are not the executives in charge of major networks who get to decide what is covered and what is not.

So yeah. . . that's a lot we don't have control over.Which is why when it comes to instituting change, it's completely unfair for leaders to pin the blame on us. Our power lies in using what resources we do have to influence those systems.

Beyond knowing what power you do and don't have as a young person in this world, it is also important to know what you will be up against no matter what. Keep in mind that the more marginalized identities you carry, the more you will be up against. Know how the world perceives you (whether their perception is true or not) so you can best arm yourself to overcome their preconceived notions.

Here's what you, as a youth activist, are up against

* Patronizing attitudes and invalidation

* Lack of trust in your ability

* Systemic silencing of your voice

* Often, lack of funding and resources

Here's how to compensate for (what the world perceives as) your weaknesses

* Know everything there is to know on your topic

Many people are going to automatically assume that you as a young person don't know what you're talking about - which means you have to become an expert on your topic. Be overprepared.

* Defy stereotypes and expectations of your immaturity and irresponsibility

People may expect you to be impatient, immature, reckless, and rude. Be the most patient, mature and polite person in the room.

* Address the elephant in the room
If someone is really testing your limits or being overtly rude or dismissive of you as a young person, don't be afraid to bring it up. Say, "If I were 20 years older and asking the same question, would you talk to me in the same way you're talking now?"

The adult might get defensive, but just keep holding them accountable for their behavior and pointing out the truth. Speak your truth to power! Always, always, always.

Here's what to do when powerful adults don't take you seriously

* Don't sink to their level; in other words, be the adult in the situation.

If an adult in power freaks out or says something stupid, don't freak out back. Don't say something stupid back. Because when they do it, it's being "passionate." When you do it, it's being "an obnoxious teenager," being "a whiny little kid," or "throwing a temper tantrum."

Is that a double standard? Totally. Is it fair? Absolutely not. But you have to play the game to win the game. Keep your long-term goals in mind, and pick your battles.

Unsupportive adults will look for every opportunity to point at a young person being angry and emotional and say, "See, I told you the kids were like this!"

Of course, there are some situations where you just gotta say, "Screw it," and do you. Freak out, get mad, yell when it's called for and appropriate and the issue is super serious. Use your best judgment. Being exactly what the world thinks you are - angry and loud - is just fine when you're calling out a politician in public for doing something horrific.

* If appropriate, get footage so you can hold a poorly behaving adult publicly accountable.

This is more relevant with public figures such as heads of large companies or elected officials and bureaucrats. But if someone in power is being outwardly rude, condescending, inappropriate or unreasonable and you have the opportunity to post the interaction online to hold them accountable, it could be a good call in some cases.

One thing to keep in mind: At times, filming an interaction with a public figure is perfectly legal, like at a rally, press conference or obviously public event - but there are some cases, like in a courtroom, where filming is not legal.

I realize this makes it sound like all adults are against you and you're going to be constantly swimming upstream and fighting to be heard, but that is not true. There are so many adults out there who have your back. You will meet with elected officials and people in power who genuinely believe in you and the work you do and will want to do the best they can for whatever cause you are fighting for.

You are not fighting against older generations. It's about knowing where your power lies and how to stand up for yourself when the powerful believe they can silence you. On your journey, you will meet countless adults and people in power who will root for you and do everything they can to support you. Keep them close. You are not in this fight alone.

Practical, smart advice for changemakers, from a young climate activist

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In the summer of 2017, then-high school students Jamie Margolin, Nadia Nazar, Madelaine Tew and Zanagee Artis decided that #thisisZeroHour to act on climate change and they founded Zero Hour, a youth-led climate movement focused on climate change and environmental justice. Now at New York University, Margolin is currently the co-executive director of Zero Hour.

Black2Nature

How Mya-Rose Craig, AKA Birdgirl, is helping inner city children connect with nature.

Black2Nature was set up in 2016 by its now 17-year-old president, Mya-Rose Craig AKA Birdgirl, following her conference looking at how we can get more Visible Minority Ethnic (VME) people engaged with nature.

As a young British Bangladeshi birder she was acutely aware that there was nobody like her out in the countryside, so organised a nature camp for teenagers, Camp Avalon 2015, when she was 13 years old.

Since then, Mya-Rose has organised eight more weekend nature camps for VME children and teenagers from inner-city Bristol. We try to have children and young people from all ethnicities and backgrounds attending, to promote community cohesion.

Camp Chew is a one night camp for children age 8-11 years and takes place around Chew Valley Lake just south of Bristol. Many of those attending will have never seen a cow or a sheep, have never stroked a dog and are frightened of anything that moves. Camp Avalon is a two night camp for teenagers age 12-19 which takes place near Glastonbury.

The camps provide a wide range of activities, as we know from experience that everyone engages with nature in their own way. Activities include camp cooking, toasting marshmallows, birding, mothing, bat walk, night birding, wildlife sketching and photography, bird ringing, pond dipping, bio blitzing, talks, discussions about the environment, and topics like the impacts of climate change.

Our camps are vegetarian and we promote a zero-waste mentality, incorporating issues such as plastics. The only exception is that we provide takeaway fish and chips for lunch to the children. Most have never had their own portion, normally having to share with siblings or cousins.

We hope that by making these basic connections with nature it will become relevant to them and they'll feel inspired and supported.

Find out more about the camps on Mya's Blog and if you're interested in volunteering please email Mya-Rose on [email protected] .

350 is building a future that's just, prosperous, equitable and safe from the effects of the climate crisis.

We're an international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all.

Here's how we get there:

We are bold, creative and strategic

The climate crisis is immense -- we must be daring and courageous in response. We embrace experiments and new solutions, recognizing that this crisis requires innovative ways of solving problems.

We work for justice

The fight against climate change is a fight for justice. People all over the world are feeling the impacts, but the people suffering most are the ones who have done the least to cause the problem.

The work we do - and the ways we do it - has to address that injustice. That means listening to the communities who are getting hit hardest, amplifying the voices that are being silenced, and following the leadership of the people on the frontlines of the crisis.

We care for and trust one another

We take care of ourselves and our communities, honor one another in our non-violent approach to this work, and share that spirit and learning with others.

No one has all the answers, so we value the experience and knowledge of our partners and our communities. That's why we listen to them -- so we can learn and evolve together.

We are stronger when we collaborate

The climate crisis is not just an environmental issue, or a social justice issue, or an economic issue - it's all of those things at once. The only way we will be strong enough to put pressure on governments and stand up to the fossil fuel industry is if we all work together.

That means bringing people together and building diverse coalitions - from students, to workers unions, human rights and social justice groups; from marginalized communities and faith groups, to universities, business owners and all those who believe in the need for transformational change.

We are transparent and accountable

To ensure the integrity of our work, we strive to be transparent and open, while respecting everyone's right to privacy and ensuring people's safety.

We are accountable to each other, to the people and groups we collaborate with, and to those impacted by our work. We strive to honor the relationships we build with each other.

Support 350's Future

Donate to make sure 350 and the climate movement can keep building on our momentum and create a future that's just, prosperous, equitable, and safe from the effects of climate change.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Canadian water protector Autumn Peltier, the indigenous-led Guardians of the Forest, and Zero Hour's Zeena Abdulkarim are helping lead the youth climate movement.

The climate crisis is a hot topic, in part because the global temperature has risen by more than 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit since 1906. But the impending emergency isn't isolated to warming alone. Climate change is also bringing extreme weather, wildfires, rising sea levels, and devastation for sea animals.

As a result, youth climate activists have gone on strike from school, taken to the streets, disrupted major events, and lobbied members of Congress to pursue action against the biggest existential threat to humanity.

Across generations, Americans see climate change as a crisis and consider it a major issue that needs to be addressed ASAP. For the first time, major presidential candidates are giving the issue the kind of sustained attention it deserves. And while we've celebrated the faces of the climate movement who have been instrumental in changing this conversation, there are so many other activists who have yet to receive the recognition they deserve - many of whom come from communities facing the most direct, immediate impacts of climate change.

Teen Vogue connected with nine of these activists to learn more about their work.

Autumn Peltier, 15, Ontario, Canada

Autumn Peltier is a water protector who, at the age of just 14, became the chief water commissioner for the Anishinabek Nation. For Autumn, caring for the earth is nothing new - it's integral to the culture she has always known. Growing up in the Wikwemikong Unceded Indian territory, a 4,000-person community on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada, her turn to activism was inspired by her late aunt Josephine, who was a seasoned water protector as well. Autumn describes seeing a "boil-water advisory" message in a nearby community at the age of eight, asking her mother what the sign meant, and feeling saddened by the reality that some members of her community have lacked access to safe, drinkable water for over 25 years. In 2016, Autumn made international headlines after questioning Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau's policies with regard to clean water. Autumn also spoke at the United Nations General Assembly in New York during the 2019 global summit on climate change.

Teen Vogue: What has been the most inspiring moment from your activism so far?
AP: I feel that my most inspiring moment was an accidental moment. It was in 2016 when I was invited to gift Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a water bundle, a ceremonial copper bowl. I had many questions about this gifting. When I came face-to-face with him something came over me, and I just told him I was very unhappy with the broken promises he made to my people. Then all I could say after that was 'pipeline' [a reference to Trudeau's support for pipeline projects around Alberta's oil sands]. After that my real advocacy began, and my journey began. That moment gained national attention, and I was proud to stand up for my people and the youth.
TV: What do you consider the biggest threat to humanity and the climate?
AP: What I see as the biggest threat to climate change is human beings and what my auntie called human negligence. It's all about making the choice to change and to be part of change and caring for the planet. We have the ability to help Mother Earth before it gets worse, and we need to work together as united nations, as we all need water.

Zanagee Artis, 19, Clinton, Connecticut

Zanagee Artis cofounded the youth-led volunteer climate organization Zero Hour in 2017. Artis is proud that from its inception, Zero Hour has named colonialism, capitalism, racism, and patriarchy as the core causes of the climate crisis. Zero Hour, he explains, "has built a movement around addressing the issue of climate change as a systematic injustice to marginalized peoples around the world." Artis says his priority is creating policy solutions at every level - for cities, states, and global frameworks like the Paris accord.

TV: Are there any particular climate causes you're passionate about?
ZA: I am especially passionate about addressing environmental injustice in Arctic communities, and researching methods of adaptation, government aid, and cultural preservation in these regions where change is happening faster than anywhere else in the world. This is an issue that I have delved into deeply academically, and I am eager to begin doing activist work related to addressing the potential impacts of Arctic shipping (and the current impacts of drilling), indigenous land sovereignty, and adaptation measures for Arctic communities because they are on the front lines of the climate crisis. More work needs to be done for communities like theirs who are facing immediate changes to where they call home.

Thomas Lopez, 24, Standing Rock, North Dakota

Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Thomas Lopez is Otomi, Diné, Apache, and Lakota. His family has for centuries lived across the Great Plains, Southwest, and parts of what is now Mexico, and protecting the environment has been an integral part of their history. "In a sense it's our birthright," explains Lopez, who is a Two-Spirit member of the International Indigenous Youth Council (IIYC). In 2017, Lopez spent three months at Standing Rock, fighting to defend the Cannonball and Missouri rivers against construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
TV: What do you consider the biggest threat to humanity?
TL: The biggest threat to humanity is humanity itself; we are in our own way. Instead of listening to the indigenous people who have been here for thousands of years, we take the word of an infant Western society. Every strong relationship I've seen in my life [is] built on communication, respect, and reciprocity. We've stopped communicating with the earth and the natural world around us; we've stopped respecting our sacred ecosystems; we are taking from the earth faster than it can replenish. We have created a toxic relationship with the earth, and, as a result, toxic relationships with ourselves - the people around us. It's all relative. What we're doing to the earth, we are doing to ourselves.
TV: What makes your climate activism unique?
TL: I don't see what I'm doing as unique or special - my people have been doing this for thousands of years. Fighting for our lives and way of life is not a trend. It's not a hot topic or an angsty time of our lives. This is a way of life. This is how we must live and die to ensure a livable future for the next seven generations, as was done for us seven generations ago. I am not a climate celebrity and I have no interest in being that. I am a warrior, I am a water protector and a land defender. I do not stand in front of but next to my siblings in demanding justice for our earth. There is a place for everyone in this moment and everyone's role is important.

Zeena Abdulkarim, 18, Atlanta, Georgia

A first-generation Sudanese American Muslim woman, Zeena Abdulkarim was first introduced to the climate crisis in third grade at a school Earth Day event. At just eight years old, she realized that without government intervention and action her generation's future was in peril. Zeena said she got involved in climate activism after moving from Saudi Arabia to what she described as a "very white, Christian, conservative, racist town" in the mountains of southern Appalachia. She began organizing for climate justice in high school and now works with Zero Hour. A "lover, fighter, and person of people," Zeena says she considers capitalism and white supremacy the most dangerous threats to the human race and planet.
TV: Are there any particular climate causes you're passionate about?
ZA: I believe it is greatly important to recognize that social justice and environmental justice go hand in hand. Minority and low-income communities do not have equal resources and socioeconomic status that ones of greater privilege might [possess], therefore in terms of "solving" the climate crisis, we must dismantle systems of oppression to ensure that certain communities are not at greater environmental risks than others. This means low-income families, black and brown communities, women of color, indigenous communities, and other underrepresented and unsupported groups of people.
TV: What makes your climate activism unique?
ZA: I don't believe me fighting for my right and everyone else's right to live makes me unique. I think that makes me human.

Yolian Ogbu, 20, Dallas, Texas

Born in Oakland, California, and raised in Frisco, Texas, Yolian Ogbu is a first-generation Eritrean American. Ogbu organizes with Zero Hour and raises awareness about what she calls the "true root causes of climate change," including colonialism. Focused on intersectionality, Ogbu recognizes that climate change is a result of many systems of oppression. She organized a climate strike on her campus at the University of North Texas this fall.
TV: How did you get involved in the climate-justice movement?
YO: My homeland, Eritrea, [in] the horn of East Africa, has been facing the brunt of climate change for years now, seeing heavy droughts and affecting my people's way of life. I saw how much climate change disproportionately affected black youth and especially youth from the global south, so I felt like it was my personal responsibility to be a part of the movement and fight for action.

Guardians of the Forest Members: Militza Flaco, 23, Jeffry Eduardo Torres Cortes, 24, Yanisbeth González, 24, and Draney Francisco Aldana Bac, 22

With a mission of protecting the Amazon rain forest, Guardians of the Forest members Militza Flaco, Jeffry Eduardo Torres Cortes, Yanisbeth González, and Draney Francisco Aldana Bac are part of the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities, a coalition of indigenous and community organizations from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Advocating for inclusion in global climate negotiations, these four activists take an active role in the crusade for the rights of forest peoples in the conversation around climate change.

Militza Flaco, of the Emberá Querá community of Emberá Nation in Panama, says that the river in her community is drying. Jeffry Eduardo Torres Cortes is from the Cabécar indigenous people in Costa Rica, working with colleagues from the Love for Life project to improve residents' quality of life by installing solar panels in the region. Yanisbeth González is a young leader from the Assudub indigenous community in Comarca Guna Yala, also in Panama. González champions women's rights within the indigenous community as part of the Territorial Women Leaders of Mesoamerica Coordination. And from the village of Uaxactún in Petén, Guatemala, Draney Francisco Aldana Bac is part of a coalition working to keep 500,000 hectares of forest in the Mayan Biosphere Reserve safe from fire. He is part of the reserve's community-monitoring network, using drones and other technology to monitor and protect the area.

Teen Vogue connected with them by email with the help of translation from Ana Alvarado at Alianza Mesoamericana. Cortes said he was driven by the "conservation of the place where I live, of its flora and fauna."

Bac shared a similar sentiment: "My parents since childhood have taught me the value and importance of forests, how to live with them. Since I was a child, I have lived with nature."

About This Episode

On this episode of StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson is investigating the connections between coronavirus and climate change alongside comic co-host Chuck Nice and expert guests. How has coronavirus impacted climate change? Can methods used to track climate change be used to track the spread of coronavirus? We explore these topics and a lot more.

Our first guest is Gavin A. Schmidt, PhD, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. To start, we get a little background on CO2 emissions. How has the air quality changed over the current period of widespread quarantining? You'll hear how the decrease of car and air travel has impacted our climate. We explore how climate modeling is similar to modeling the spread of coronavirus. You'll also learn the benefits of "simple" vs "complex" modeling. Gavin tells us why models are fundamental to scientific enterprise.

Then we welcome our second guest, Katharine Hayhoe, PhD, director of the Climate Center at Texas Tech University. She also has her own YouTube channel called Global Weirding with Katharine Hayhoe. Katharine explains how coronavirus made the jump from animals to humans (zoonosis) and why this is not the first, or last, time it will happen.

Find out why the current pandemic is like a microcosm of climate change. Investigate the role that government has played in this pandemic so far and what governments can learn from dealing with this situation. Katharine explains how this pandemic and climate change are similar in the fact that they both impact the poorest people the hardest.

We take a look at the spread of conspiracy theories during this pandemic and how they come from the same places that helped spread climate change conspiracies. Lastly, you'll also hear about climatefeedback.org, a website run by a network of scientists to bring you truthful climate change news. All that, plus, Katharine shares a hopeful message for the future.

Thanks to our Patrons - Taylor Brandt, Carlene Goodbody, Leonard Saldana, Kaden Kartsone, Nicole Deschaine, Jeremy Newman, Nathan Hwee, and Nicholas Marazoff - for supporting us this week.

NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons and All-Access subscribers can watch or listen to this entire episode commercial-free.
