Remember when you were 15 or 16? If you thought about your future, you could probably see a world of endless possibilities for travel, work and family. But youth today are confronted with the impacts of a climate crisis they didn’t create.
And although they may feel overwhelmed now, they’re still thinking about a future filled with endless possibilities… just not the same possibilities many of us used to think about. In the first episode of Mission Transition: Season 2, we hear from three young people about their hopes for a post-carbon future.
Finn Kreischer is a 15 year old Sierra Club BC volunteer, Antonia Paquin is a climate strike organizer with Youth for Climate Victoria and Hannah Gelderman is an organizer with Rise and Resist as well as #OurTime2019 which involves youth in building the vision for a Green New Deal for Canada.
