Climate Youth Activists (Climate Part 3 at WOW Global 24)

Women and girls are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change, from the surges in gender-based violence following natural disasters to lack of access to food, water and household essentials. WOW meets the leading young activists and agents for change working at the intersections of climate justice. From the Amazon to Standing Rock and the American Deep South, our panelists paint the picture of what environmental injustice looks like in their communities and offer actions for change.
