In March 2023, UN Secretary General António Guterres was unequivocal when he spoke at the release of the UN’s 6th IPCC report: “our world needs climate action on all fronts – everything, everywhere, all at once.” But who is going to deliver this action? The answer must be: Everyone. We need a groundswell of changemakers: to shift the systems and structures they’re part of, in their work, schools, neighborhoods and countries.
For a practical look at how two Ashoka Fellows are activating climate agency in millions of young people, listen in on this Welcome Change. We’ll speak with Kuldeep Dantewadia (India), founder of Reap Benefit, and Koen Timmers (Belgium/Global), founder of Take Action Global – the world’s largest climate education initiative.
