"Parents need to step up": Rowan Ryrie on why we can't leave climate activism to children

Listen in as we discuss activism, hope, and why the climate movement needs all of us
One of Rowan’s many protest signs

Join Eloise and Rowan for a conversation on why the climate movement needs all of us, why activism doesn’t have to be scary, and why this is the time for action.

The climate crisis is the biggest risk children collectively face, the biggest threat to children’s rights. Yet governments are rolling back on their climate promises - just as scientists are telling us that this decade is our last chance to keep warming from reaching catastrophic levels. There’s never been a more urgent need for us to fight for our children’s futures. But activism doesn’t need to be illegal or dangerous, and joining together with others to take action can alleviate feelings of guilt and anxiety.
