We are not waiting: how young leaders are redefining climate justice

If you missed the latest “We are not waiting” webinar, you can still dive right into the action.

The session, “Building new systems from regenerative economies to climate justice and circular living” served as a masterclass in grassroots advocacy. Moderated by Louise Steel from the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES UK Hub, the session featured two powerhouse young climate leaders: Walter Osigai and Prasiddhi Singh.

They broke down why we need to move beyond traditional, top-down approaches to systemic change. Read our write-up of the key takeaways and insights from their conversation. Follow the link below to access our blog which gives the low-down on this really inspiring webinar.

What is we are not waiting about?

The world is facing increasingly worrying shared futures, but young people are not waiting for permission to take action. To celebrate this dynamism and provide a platform for meaningful, youth-led work, The 50 Percent and UNESCO MOST BRIDGES are co-producing an open-access anthology focused on systems change.

If you are a young person aged 14 to 35, this is an invitation to share the work you are already leading.
