The Rise of a Movement: How Young Activists Transformed Climate Politics

April 25, 12:40-1:30pm ET, Middlebury College, Middlebury, VT

From small beginnings, the youth climate movement has become a political force to be reckoned with, shaping federal legislation and putting the fossil fuel industry on the defensive. From campus sustainability, to divestment, to the push for a Green New Deal, student climate organizers have reshaped university life and sparked a true grassroots uprising. In this talk, longtime climate activist, educator, and movement journalist Nick Engelfried will share how young people at schools like Middlebury led this national transformation.
