Climate Change is Personal

Climate Change is Personal is our new podcast, where we listen to people’s personal experiences with the climate crisis and learn from their wisdom about how to create a future that is resilient, community-based, and centers the leadership of people on the front lines of the crisis. For those of you who are new to Our Climate Voices, we are a collective led by young queer and trans folks, BIPOC, and disabled people working to humanize the climate crisis, catalyze systemic change, and vision the future that we want to make real.
