Description

Climate and social systems are profoundly connected.Interconnectedness, in turn, can be an overwhelming double-edged sword—an ‘infobesity’ that buries clear paths forward to act against the systemic climate inequities rippling across society. In Sage Lenier’s justice-oriented activism, she has come to find that environmental education is largely non-existent. Perhaps, the biggest stopgap is that no one knows about the problems that make up the larger problem. This is what Sage sees as a barrier to the climate movement gaining traction: a lack of quality education.Sustainable & Just Future salvages the demoralization within climate change into an educated understanding of the ecological systems that sustain us. On this episode, we are joined by a Time's 2023 Next Generation Leader and YPCCC Public Voice Fellow, whose work creates huge strides within Project Drawdown’s Education and Equity by reforming education systems with student-led climate initiatives and advocacy campaigns, educator-led curriculum (re)design and digital programming. For-youth-by-youth dissemination of knowledge translates Gen Z solutions into meaningful shifts toward reforming the ways all generations sustain the health, equity, and quality of our natural resources and the planet.
