Climate change is no longer a far-off scenario. It's happening now. It's getting more intense every year. And young people are seeing a scary future play out right in front of them.

In recent years, the youth climate movement has gained unprecedented strength. Borrowing from the civil rights movement and early environmental activists, young leaders are forcing politicians to grapple with climate change in new ways. Are we truly at a breakthrough moment? Or a breaking moment?

In this episode, we'll hear stories from Erin Bridges, Isha Clarke, Varshini Prakash, and Mary Anne Hitt.
