Campaigning, Collaborating, Motivating

  • Summary

  • In recent years, young people have been at the forefront of campaigning on climate change. How does it feel to spearhead a campaign? How is it possible to campaign with busy lives and academic pressures? What keeps you going in these times of hostile politics, an adversarial press and toxic social media? Emma Newman talks to a young activist who has spearheaded an amazing campaign for clean air in London and a youth campaigning mentor from Friends of the Earth.

    In episode 5 we heard from:

    • Destiny Boka-Batesa from the Choked Up campaign
    • Rowha Mohid, Climate Youth Society peer mentor from Friends of the Earth
