While politicians and older generations have caused the deterioration of our climate, the younger generation must come to terms with and shape their future.
In this session, three students in their early twenties speak candidly about the environmental crises that their generation is forced to grapple with, and the generational divide in the field of sustainability.
Organizers and discussants:
Sofia Assab
Devon Tietjen
Mia Winther-Tamaki
Host: Andrew Revkin, founding director of the Initiative on Communication and Sustainability, Columbia Climate School and The Earth Institute, Columbia University
