Young people have brought energy, new visions for the future, and renewed hope to the movement for climate justice. These Gen Z and Millennial leaders are championing concrete actions, bringing new legislation to the United States and across the globe, and demanding their rightful places at policy tables worldwide.
What do the youngest generations of climate justice leaders need to reach their goals? How can funders, nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, and others support the successful climate actions of youth?
In this conversation, youth climate leaders and writers from Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine’s exclusive fall issue “Supporting the Youth Climate Justice Movement” discussed what’s urgent for real climate justice action, and how older generations in the field can help.
Participating in the webinar conversation are the following people:
Senowa Mize-Fox is Movement Engagement Manager for Climate Justice at the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy.
Yasmina Benslimane is the Founder of Politics4Her.
Gabby Treadwell works for Black Liberation Collective, a nonprofit that focuses on serving the Black queer and trans community in their area.
