Description

Do you remember a world without climate crisis? The answer to that question may define a generation. The UN climate change conference, or COP, has been going on since 1995, well before some of today’s most vocal climate activists were born. Numbers show young people around the world are facing a wave of ‘climate anxiety’ – so today, we’re turning over the mic to four activists who were all born after emissions levels had passed the threshold for normal life on Earth.

In this episode: 
Blanche Verlie (@BlancheVerlie), Sydney Environment Institute 
Evelyn Acham (@eve_chantel), Climate activist, Uganda 
Atlas Sarrafoğlu (@AtlasSarrafoglu), Climate activist, Turkey 
Line Niedeggen (@lineniedeggen), Climate justice activist based in Germany 
Jennifer Uchendu (@Dzennypha), Founder of SustyVibes, Nigeria
