Episode description
This September, the United Nation’s annual Climate Action Summit met, and as usual, the chance to make real, lasting inter-governmental response to climate change came – and went.
In response, youth are hitting the streets, following the lead of young people like Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, and promising to strike every Friday until Green New Deal demands are met. The fury and passion are self-evident. The frustration and anger are visceral. But, as the environmental rights movement, and its most consequential form in the wave of climate change enter yet another year, the question is: can the current strikers stand long enough against the odds?
Meet and hear the NOCO Climate Strike in Fort Collins, Colorado, as they open up about their demands and plans for local government and beyond.
