CLIMATE ACTIONHUB
OURMISSION
The Climate Hub aims to create a global community of teen changemakers to take action on climate change. We strive to inform our community about the effects of climate change and the importance of our environment, as well as to take direct actions against the threat of the climate crisis in our world.
What we do
The Climate Hub works on increasing global awareness for climate change, as well as advocating for sustainable and eco-friendly communities.
The Climate Hub hosted a webinar to discuss eco-anxiety, its effects, and how to deal with it. In this project with the Mental Health Hub, members of the webinar discussed their experiences with eco-anxiety and learned from expert panelist and psychologist Kelsey Hudson.
The Climate Hub hosted a fascinating webinar on the topic of fast fashion and its harmful effects on our planet.
The Climate Hub coordinated an in-depth conversation about plastic pollution, greenwashing, climate change and misinformation in the media Please watch the webinar to hear from our Guest Speaker, Erica Cirino, Communications Manager of the nonprofit Plastic Pollution Coalition and an author of her own book addressing solutions to the plastic crisis, Thicker Than Water.
