My name is Lava Gifero, I identify as a Gen Z climate activist and I'm the proud founder and executive director of the National Nonprofit Black Girl Environmentalist. And what kind of positive changes have you seen in the last decade? It's been really interesting seeing that transition of a movement that felt very inaccessible and where I didn't see a lot of representation. To where now I see more of that and there's more hope around the climate narrative than ever before. Why is a solution-based approach important to the work that you do? The choices and decisions and policies that we put forth right now are really good and form. The future that you and I are going to experience and inherit hope is something that you earn through action. The action that you do is a result of your unique skills, talents, and spheres of influence and it's deeply personal. When you become invested in that, the hope that you cultivate is one that can last a lifetime I think.
