Rising Hope Through Advocacy in the Climate Crisis

In this breakout session, Kayla Jacobs and student leaders from Catholic Climate Covenant explore advocacy as a vital sign of hope in addressing the climate crisis. The panelists share their experiences organizing campus sustainability initiatives, engaging with local representatives to pass environmental policies, and participating in youth coalitions. These inspiring young people invite us to consider the importance of taking small steps in this more significant movement for climate justice.
