How Are You(th) Showing Up For Climate Action?
Youth Climate Lab's panel at SXSW 2022 explored the journeys and solutions of young climate leaders from the YCL global community, who are redefining what it means to be climate activists. From organizing climate strikes to designing social enterprises and clean energy solutions, these leaders bring innovation, passion and creativity in their work to shake up the status quo. Audiences had the chance to hear how each speaker contributes to driving sustainable change – and how they can show up for climate action too.
