Now, the world stands on the cusp of an existential crisis due to ecological collapse. The breakdown of the climate, caused principally by human activities, is a key driver of this crisis. A rallying cry needs to go out that we are the peoples’ – we are the climate generation: the first to fully comprehend what is happening to our earth, and the last with time to rescue it.In advance of the UN Climate Change Summit in September, this event will bring together activists for climate justice of all ages who consider themselves the climate generation.
