The Youth Climate Movement: Looking Back and Moving Forward Whether you’re a youth activist yourself, or an aspiring adult ally for the youth leading the way, we encourage you to get involved in the movement for a better future for all! In recent years, the youth climate movement has seen exponential growth. Young activists from all around the world are participating in the global discussion around the climate crisis, environmental justice, and inclusive solutions. The climate crisis could create a dangerous future for all, with younger generations bearing the brunt of the dire impact. However, inspired by global activists like 15-year-old Greta Thunberg, young people are lifting up their voices and fighting back.
