Join Dr. Jane Goodall and youth activists to discuss the global crisis of environmental anxiety among our youth.
The scientific data and many global scientific leaders have determined that this is the most critical decade in human history. If we don’t significantly course-correct, our lives, other species and the planet will be forever changed. Today’s youth understand this reality and the significance for the future they will inherit. This harsh reality is contributing to what has been termed “environmental anxiety.” Finding hope in these seemingly desperate times is essential. Parents, Educational, Political,Industry, NGO and other leaders have a responsibility to provide today’s youth with a sense of hope.
Dr. Jane Goodall, Filmblanc and Connecting the Dots Director, Noemi Weis, accompanied by youth film participants, ensures this is a conversation not to be missed!
