Youth leaders around the world are rising up to inspire, empower and mobilize a generational movement to demand action on the climate crisis and ensure environmental justice for all. From organized strikes calling for bold climate solutions to filing (and sometimes winning) lawsuits against state and federal governments, they’re taking their future into their own hands. Arizona Youth Climate Strike's Brian Mecinas discusses how they are working to create the change they want to see in the world. From GreenBiz 20.

Victoria Mills, managing director at EDF, works at the intersection of sustainability, public policy and business.

"What we've realized — EDF and other NGOs — together is that it's time to raise the bar for leadership to include climate policy advocacy," says Mills.
