Meet Future Council, a global youth-led movement that’s empowering kids and teenagers to help co-design the future. Inspired by the documentary ‘Future Council’ that followed eight young activists as they travelled across Europe in a yellow bus confronting big business leaders, the movement is showing how the next generation can reshape climate leadership. In our final episode for this season, we chat with filmmaker Damon Gameau and two of the original councillors –Skye Neville, a 15 year old environmental campaigner from Wales and Clemence “CC” Currie, the 12 year old CEO of CCs Plastic Pick-up Crew in Scotland. From Billie Eilish to the phrase that we need to stop telling our kids, this conversation is a reminder than when it comes to changing the world, none of us can sit on the sidelines.

 Other topics: what adults can learn from young activists; early encounters with environmental risk; small steps that scale into meaningful impact; corporate accountability and sustainability culture; hope as a tool for young campaigners; generational views on climate crisis; emerging models of youth governance; power dynamics inside sustainability boardrooms; media narratives shaping climate perception; digital networks for youth organising; the role of families in early activism; values-driven climate decision-making; the tension between optimism and urgency; cross-cultural collaboration among young leaders; and the fine line between encouragement and overwhelm.
