Climate Protest

Artivists and Amplifiers


A safe space for storytelling and action from youth
on the frontlines of the climate crisis and their allies.

"Those who tell the stories rule the world."

- Hopi proverb

 

 

 

This space is a place reserved for youth, for collective listening and for impactful storytelling. Together, we invite you to showcase your ideas, your demands, and your commitments to a just and liveable future in the face of the climate crisis. 

​

Often seen as the victims of climate impacts and not as sources of solutions, we are shifting the narrative on who we listen to, to build the action we demand for the future we need.

 

By participating in this space, your stories will become a part of our collection that will be used to inspire action in communities near and far, including to spark international delegations at the UN climate negotiations of COP28.  

 

Join us in amplifying the demands and visions of young climate leaders!

MORE ABOUT US

With your help, the Human Impacts Institute, along with our partners, are creating a global space for young people to share and listen to stories of leadership from the communities that are most impacted by the climate crisis. 

 

Launched during Climate Week NYC in 2023, this project is possible with sponsorship from the Ford Foundation and in partnership the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities (GATC), Movilizatorio, TINTA, and WNET (PBS).​
