Real-world change-makers in portrait

Watch a video showcasing examples/role models presenting different types of actions in different contexts from around the world.

Now that we’ve learned about actions we can take to contribute to tackling the climate crisis, let’s hear from people who are already taking action.

This video highlights some inspiring examples of people taking different types of climate action. In the See also section, you can find two other inspiring examples from change-makers in Leeds.

Each story is different, but they all share one thing: proof that anyone can contribute to tackling the climate crisis in some meaningful way. These people aren’t superheroes. They’re turning their care and passion into meaningful action, and that’s something you can do, too.

What do you think?

This video isn’t just about their stories, it’s also about what you can do. Whether you care about protecting nature, fixing how we use stuff, or standing up for what’s right, there’s a place for you in the fight against climate change.
As you watch, consider which actions resonate the most with you, and think about how their actions might inspire your own journey in climate action. If you feel inspired, let us know and discuss with other learners in the Comments section.
